re: Swisscom GPRS now full scale commercial >> Swisscom Launches GPRS Service Cellular News January 17, 2001 Swisscom Mobile will start offering GPRS on a commercial basis, free of charge for customers with contracts: only the volume of transmitted data will be billed. GPRS technology has been integrated in Swisscom Mobile´s existing NATEL network for over a year. Last year several thousand test users helped to check out the quality. Swisscom Mobile held back with the rollout of GPRS until the high requirements for both the mobile network and the GPRS terminals had been met. At the launch, Swisscom Mobile's Chief Executive Carsten Schloter also commented on the company's 3G rollout, stating that he does not expect any serious uptake of 3G technology until 2004, when the second wave of 3G handsets is expected to be available, saying "At the moment people are saying we can expect these handsets to be there in the third quarter of 2003. I'd say it will be 2004 at the earliest," << - Eric -
