And this is for 3G, which <b?won't be available for another three years at least. Imagine how many more billions of pounds have to be factored in for the roll-out of Wap and GPRS until then.

I don't know where "three years" comes from. That seems much extended from the various time frames bandied about earlier. I sometimes wonder if there will ever be a W-CDMA.

As regards high cost of spectrum auction in UK, can the operators there wait 3 years to begin generating revenue? I assume since W-CDMA requires replacing GSM there'll be no interim GSM deployed in the auctioned spectrum.

The GSM emperor is starting to shed clothing. Eventually even the European operators are slowly going to realize that the economics of greenfield installations greatly favor cdma with its smooth, rapid and relatively inexpensive upgrades.
