WCDMA will take time to be adopted
February 20, 2003
The slow take-up of mobile phone data services suggests that 3G
technology will take time to be widely adopted, say experts.
The availability of 3G services is still very limited, despite
the first licences being awarded three years ago, analysts told
delegates at this week's 3GSM World Congress in Cannes.
Just 0.01 per cent of the world's mobile phone subscribers are
accessing services using WCDMA 3G technology, which is the system
that all European countries will use, says Michele Scanlon, research
director at wireless analyst EMC.
Scanlon expects an increase in the availability of 3G networks
through 2004, but says that poor take-up of existing data services
is likely to cause further delay.
Rupert Reid, consultant at analyst ARC Group, says data makes up
about 10 per cent of operator revenues, but predicts it will be
2007 before sales reach 30 per cent.But he believes that more than
half of all handsets will include multimedia messaging technology
by the end of 2004.
