Still a long way to go

July 4, 2008

European 3G subscriptions seen topping 100 million | www.reuters.com

The market is still fragmented. In the big five we still see a wide spread of take up as consumers are yet to be won over. The mobile networks are still to discover a range of products that make the investment pay off. This talks about terminals rather than handsets and so a slowing of sales of phones is offset by a boom in USB Mobile Broadband Devices.

Too Little to Late

Motorola Impresses With 5-Megapixel Camera Phone | www.informationweek.com

This is something that they should have launched 12 months ago.  Failing that then we should have seen it in February at GSM World. The design is dated and the technology is out of date. This new handset is not going to have Networks placing orders outside of the US.  At best this gets a C for effort.

LTE is going to win WiMax

June 20, 2008

Nortel, Alvarion in wireless pact | biz.yahoo.com

LTE is going to win WiMax because LTE is a part of the 3GPP. WiMax is mainly supported by Intel that has never been successful in the wireless industry. Practically, I don’t see a mobile user, with 2 or 4 or even 4 inch screen, using more than 10Mbps on his device. Given that most of the fancy devices out there today (including RIMM, iPhone, and others) are basically 2G devices. Field measurements will prove less the 100kbps in those devices, and we all pretty happy with that. Today’s 3GPP UMTS standard could support about 10Mbps, and it’s not very well accepted all over the world. So, let’s be reasonable: why?

Apple’s iPhone 3G - end of the marriage Apple – ATT

June 20, 2008

Apple may soon be free from AT&T | news.cnet.com

The new iPhone is a 3G UMTS HSDPA capable device does not have a lock-unlock mechanism. The UMTS standard, is a universal standard. By definition UMTS stands for Universal Mobile Terrestrial System. Therefore, the lock-unlock mechanism is not required anymore. The GSM-GPRS-EDGE iPhone, which was Appl’s first generation design, was locked to a particular network. In the USA, exclusivity granted to ATT and therefore a third party software needed to activate a phone on the network.   Within the 3G phone, this process is not needed and every 3G, backward compatible with 2G, network could use the device.

Vodafone under the command of Colao can only be good news

June 18, 2008

Sarin Legacy Isn't All Aces | online.wsj.com

When Colao left McKinsey to help run Omnitel as the COO he showed that he was more that a "Strategy Man" working alongside Francesco Ciao he showed that he was someone vary capable at Operational matters.  With Cioa gone, he steppped up to the CEO role and integrated the Omnitel into Vodafone. On his return to Vodafone he has spent the last 18 months getting ready to succeed Sarin by Optimising the network. Now with an Italian at the head you can expect to see Emerging Markets take a back seat as he follows the startegy of the Spanish Subsiduary and stimulates the market.
