Umm... "Cheaper it is not" Really? Wow... "ridiculous FCC auction policies" allowed me to choose between GSM service and SprintPCS/CDMAOne and cut my $100 a month bill in half. While my calls cost $0.10 a minute (peak times, including long distance charges), European operators are worried because competition is forcing their average charge per minute from $0.60 to $0.50. Mika, do you spend about 5 times as much per minute to make a phone call? Is the EU, under pressure from its domestic telco industry and its investors, preventing CDMAOne from offering your fellow citizens $0.10 per minute? What would happen to the providers if they cut their revenue in half? Do you really think Vodaphone is oblivious to this? GSM is the "dominant 2G network" in the world. But, GSM does not offer a smooth transition for more than 100 million AMPS users around the world. When GSM capacity congestion becomes a problem, do you think China will continually deny itself the same opportunity to make a choice?
