Vodafone's 3G delays deepen

date: May 10, 2002

French 3G license holder, Cegetel's SFR has added further delays to the world's biggest mobile operator's 3G intentions. SFR has said that it will launch UMTS services to the mass market in 2004, later than had been expected.

Chairman Philippe Germond also spoke of Vodafone's intentions regarding its holding in the mobile unit. Germond said it "makes sense" for Vodafone to want to exchange its 15 per cent in Cegetel for a larger share of SFR, in which Vodafone has 31.9 per cent.
