All rights reserved ----- Bouygues Telecom still undecided whether to bid for French UMTS licence library.northernlight.com CANNES (AFX) - Bouygues Telecom is still undecided whether it will apply for one of the two further UMTS licences which the French government intends to award, chief executive Gilles Pelisson told journalists at a dinner on the sidelines of the GSM conference here. "The arguments against going into UMTS are less numerous than before," he said. Bouygues Telecom, France's third biggest mobile phone service operator, did not bid when the government first offered UMTS licences in Jan 2001. "We have a team working" on whether to apply, Pelisson said. The government has set a deadline of May 16 for applications for additional UMTS licences, after lowering the price for all licence holders. Concerning Bouygues Telecom's GPRS service, Pelisson said the company plans a launch a marketing campaign from end-September to mid-October. But he expects only a "very limited" transfer of GSM subscribers to GPRS before Christmas this year. an/hjp NNN Copyright AFX 2002, All Rights Reserved.
