Do me just one favor: Check the chart of ERIC vs NOK during the last two years. Here is the primitive piece of info I found: ERIC (previously ERICY) always swung between 1.6x NOK and 2x Nok, both nominally. Only recently did ERIC hit 2.1x NOK. Simple, right? So you guess how my primitive investment pattern has been... Taro

Ericsson targets 1Mbit/sec. mobiles by 2009 By Richard Wilson -- 3/14/2007 Electronics Weekly Ericsson claims it will achieve data speeds of up to 1Mbit/sec. on existing GSM mobile phone networks following the introduction of enhancement technology that has been standardized in the industry as EDGE. Ericsson said it will launch EDGE Evolution, a software upgrade of existing infrastructure, by 2009. This will support broadband equivalent data rate of 1Mbit/sec. to mobiles. This will mean that two-way mobile comms will be approaching the one-way 1.8Mbit/sec. download data speeds being offered by HSDPA which could be available this year. According to the network supplier, it will increase the performance of existing EDGE infrastructure by as much as a three-fold increase in data rate. "Ericsson EDGE Evolution builds on 3GPP's industry standardization of agreed technology improvements and reflects Ericsson's prediction that the current trend towards EDGE-capable GSM networks and terminals is set to continue,” said Ulf Ewaldsson, VP and head of product area radio at Ericsson. Ericsson said there are 196 commercially launched EDGE networks around the world. (GSA January 2007). It said its EDGE Evolution upgrade will potentially boost data speeds by up to 300 percent and will improve latency, coverage and spectrum efficiency. “This improved data performance in GSM will serve as an important complement to high-speed WCDMA/HSPA networks, meeting the growing demand of data bandwidth and mobility,” said the company. It has been suggested that by 2009, one-way download speed to mobiles could be as high as 28Mbit/sec.
