GPRS MMS Moving Out at T-Mobile >> T-Mobile Claims 1M Picture Phone Sales 13 March 2003 Reuters Europe's second largest mobile phone operator T-Mobile says it has sold one million picture phones in Europe and the US to date. The head of T-Mobile, a unit of Germany's phone giant Deutsche Telekom, said he aimed to generate 20 percent of T-Mobile's revenues from mobile internet services by the end of 2004. "Twenty percent of [average revenue per user] should be generated by data services. Any figure below this by the end of 2004 will be unacceptable," T-Mobile chief executive Rene Oberman told a news conference at technology fair CeBIT. T-Mobile last year made 16 percent of its revenues from data services, he said. << - Eric -

GSM was Born Digital Cax, << Maybe EDGE can save the day for the analog, oh wait, I meant GSM guys! >> You appear to have things a** backwards. GSM is and always has been 100% digital both on the core network side as well as the access network side. GSM was born digital. By contrast IS-54 TDMA, IS-136 TDMA and IS-95 cdma were built on an analog platform of sand. Each uses a born analog (ANSI-41) core network. That is just one of the reasons that QCDMA sucks hind tit relative to technology adoption by major carriers. - Eric -

Another CDMA in LA Rumor Quashed ... ...squashed, and hung out to dry. << Sure seems like things are going better in CDMA land. >> * Pyramid Research published a report 28 January in which it announced that Colombia Móvil “appears to be favoring CDMA” and that Ericsson, Motorola and Nortel were the providers most likely to build the network. * These predictions were incorrect as Colombia Móvil decided on GSM technology [and Siemens]. * With a budget of US$54 million to install a national GSM network, Siemens has won the contract. Not only is GSM the fastest growing technology in the USA, it is an absolute bloody rout in Central America, the Caribbean, and South America. >> Siemens Wins GSM contract with Colombia Móvil Buenos Aires, Argentina Global Wireless March 20, 2003 With a budget of US$54 million to install a national GSM network, Siemens has won the contract with the new cell-phone operator in Colombia. The German company will take responsibility for the construction of the network, which will allow Colombia Móvil to offer its services in all the commercial capitals, metropolitan areas and principle routes in the country before the end of the year. Together with Siemens, Ericsson, Alcatel and Nortel had participated in the bidding. The low price offered by the German company was the key element in winning the contract, industry sources said. “Siemens knew that this would be its last opportunity to launch itself into the large Latin American mobile telephone market," said Carlos Rodríguez of Pyramid Research. The consultancy published a report 28 January in which it announced that Colombia Móvil “appears to be favoring CDMA” and that Ericsson, Motorola and Nortel were the providers most likely to build the network. However, these predictions were incorrect as Colombia Móvil decided on GSM technology. Colombia Móvil consists of state telecommunications companies EPM (Medellín) and ETB (Bogotá), which won the personal communications services (PCS) auction last year, offering US$56 million for 30 megahertz in the 1900 MHz band. << - Eric -
