Comment how about the chances of UMTS? (Score 2) 95
while reading i just remembered the umts-auction here in germany which has finished last week with an outstanding total bidding of about $45.000.000.000 (~ DM 98.000.000.000) for 16 licenses for the umts-frequences of germany!!!
actually you need at least two licenses to provide a stable connection. so the companies paid as follows for every 2-licenses-package:
E-Plus Hutchison DM 16.418.200.000
Group 3G DM 16.446.000.000
Mannesmann Mobilfunk DM 16.473.800.000
MobilCom Multimedia DM 16.370.000.000
T-Mobil DM 16.582.200.000
VIAG Interkom DM 16.517.000.000
nervous? - i think so
the utms-standard provides up to 2MBit/s stable connection also while moving with a speed of up to 10 km/h.
but is this worth that price? i dont see it. at last the customers have to pay the price for that nevous chairmans who wanted to be one of the billion-dollar-bit.
when i see Qualcomms news now, which actually is (almost) ready for the market i can not see the "big deal" in umts for that price.
qualcomms invention is an raise from 9.6 to 153 - which more than simply satisfaction for any of that guys running the street outside (most available private connectivity is about 56 to 112).
