From the Commission report you just posted: After a decrease over the past years, the average revenue per user (ARPU) has stabilised at about €30 per month. In the US the ARPU is much higher, closer to $60 than $30. Also, I've been led to believe that calling charges in the EU are higher than here. Combining them, then usage would be much lower. This doesn't square well with numerous reports of Europeans being wedded to their mobiles. Any idea where the disconnect is here?

"The sector is best served by letting the market drive the process ahead." This is the same line of BS I heard from the Radio Authority of the UK at the time of the auctions. An 'independant' member said that they 'had consulted with all leading participants' in arriving at the decision to use auctions as the best way to let the market work its magic.
