"We know the tariffs here will appeal to about 20% of the people," - Analysts said Hi3G is off to an aggressive start. "These are pretty low prices," said Sven Skoeld, an operator analyst at Hagstroemer & Qviberg in Stockholm. "It appears to me that they are being more aggressive than they've said before." - A shortage of handsets from supplier NEC Corp. , though, is likely to slow subscriber growth. Because of this services are being offered initially only in the Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmoe areas, Bannister said. - "Demand exceeds our supply of handsets," he said. "Only when things are right there will we really open up across Sweden." - In addition, subscribers moving from 3's network to Vodafone's will have their voice calls disconnected, he said, adding that he didn't think that would be a big problem because Hi3G is building out its network so quickly. |
