Right it must be Bouyques Telecom. gsmworld.com It is hard to understand though how a telecom without 2.1 ghz spectrum could adopt GSM1X though since they can't do it in the 800 mhz spectrum which is designated for GSM. Ah but I see from the link above that Bouyques has 1800 mhz spectrum and so it isn't constrained, possibly, the way the other European providers are with their 800 mhz spectrum. Most of the guessing since Cannes last year has been that a European company could put 1XEVDO in 2.1 ghz spectrum if they wanted or even GSM1X because this spectrum can be used for any 3G technology. However, one problem is that they already had to say which technology to use, Bouygues hasn't made this statement though since it has no spectrum at 2.1 ghz. The questions is what regulations are there for the 1800 mhz spectrum, and how do they differ from the 800 mhz spectrum and the 2.1 ghz spectrum? Quite a riddle to figure out what is going on even if there is fire with this smoke.
