Hi, Bernard - "So, all what the calculations prove is that the current license holders have dug a big hole for themselves. The wireless business (including 3G networks) will survive with or without (mainly without)them." Agreed. What the implications will be, beyond what you've noted, is also interesting. Consolidation, yes. Delay in implementation? Possibly. Lately I have noted discussions about augmenting capacity of 3G networks with X OFDM. A lot of assumptions about the orderly progression of wireless telephony seem to have been knocked into a hat. Regards, Jim

An Antennae Advance? "Antenna technology could ease pain of 3G rollout" Hi Bernard and All, Here's an interesting article from EETimes: eetimes.com <Snip>Research into phased array antennas by an agency of the U.K. government and Roke Manor Research Ltd. (Hampshire, United Kingdom) could solve an awkward problem facing mobile phone service operators wishing to deploy the infrastructure for third-generation (3G) mobile networks.....In Europe today, radio masts are often shared and hold several different antennas, each operated by a different service provider. But with DERA's technology, each antenna would be capable of receiving up to five radio signals at once, thus combining services for multiple operators onto a single rooftop or mast antenna. This sounds like it solves a nasty NIMBY and a boisterous BANANA problem. Comments welcomed.
