Many of the European economies, particularly Germany, are stagnating. It's not that the present level of wireless service isn't enough. Nobody wants to shell out more money to improve it. The attitude is very lackadaisical. The supply of investment capital is very low. Those two conditions equate to doing nothing and hoping for the best. Art

chapq - Most young Europeans don't have that much by way of ambition economically. They know the state will ultimately look after them and they are not going to bust a gut to get on. Education is free health is free, housing for a material %age is free. Although there is an EU it isn't yet a country and some say it isn't meant to be so for instance no-one gets upset or surprised that calls from Gt Britain to say Greece are 'International' calls and expensive, and so are calls from Dover to Calais only 20 miles away. The point is that Europe is ex growth and has lost its duynamism. Once some of these countries led the World but now Korea is more adavanced in some areas and just wait for China. They just have no need of mobile intenet. SMS is NOT what QCOM is all about and you don't need any more than GSM to do that. Best, L
