re: More on Nokia UMTS Deals from Wireless Week >> European 3G Moves On Billion-dollar Deals Kristy Bassuener April 3, 2001 Wireless Week Third-generation wireless services got a step closer to reality in Europe this week as carriers contracted with vendors for billions of dollars in network-development deals. Nokia won the bulk of the recent contracts, pushing rival Ericsson into a back seat. Orange plc, owned by France Telecom, awarded Nokia contracts in the United Kingdom as well as France and Germany totaling more than $1 billion. Nokia will be the sole provider of Orange 3G UMTS network services and gear in the U.K. The Finnish manufacturer also will provide infrastructure to Intineris in France and MobileCom -- 28 percent owned by Orange -- in Germany. Ericsson, however, will also get a $446 million slice of MobilCom's network business. In France, Nokia will share Orange-related equipment deals with Alcatel and Japan's Fujitsu Yesterday, Nokia said it struck network deals with Hutchison 3G U.K. Ltd. and Cable & Wireless Optus of Australia totaling close to $900 million. Hutchison 3G says it expects to have 3G services up and running in 2002, about two years after Great Britain's blockbuster third-generation license auction that brought in about $36 billion. << - Eric -

JohnG, can you please stop posting your QCOM link shrine for what seems like twice a day on every wireless thread on SI. I'd really hate to put you on ignore in order to skip all this redundant crap, because you sometimes have worthwhile things to say. Please just post your link shrine maybe once a week on a QCOM thread. TIA.
