VOD set no date on launch in Germany

March 11, 2003

Vodafone said it was not focusing on a firm date to launch 3G mobile phone services in Germany, but would roll out 3G gradually in the second half of the year.

The company said it would not start a mass-market launch of 3G this spring, as earlier announced, but only offer it to selected corporate customers by that time.

"The commercial launch to the end-customer market will come during the second half of the year, as soon as there are enough handsets" said Vodafone's German head Juergen von Kuczkowski.

"There will be no big bang, but a smooth transition," von Kuczkowski said. "We are not focusing on a special launch date."

But it is under pressure to launch quickly in Germany, where rival T-Mobile International has announced a start to offering 3G in 200 German cities in the third quarter of this year.

In an interview with Germany's Focus magazine on the 8th March 2003, Vodafone chief executive Chris Gent said Vodafone Group plans to launch its 3G mobile phone network in Europe in the autumn.

"...we are looking at an autumn start in eight European countries." said Chris Gent.
