Top CEO sees little hope for next generation phones
September 23, 2002
On the eve of the launch of its long-awaited mobile of the future
of 3G, a top Nokia official on Monday toned down hopes for a cellphone
revolution and said consumers would probably be happy with the current
2G technology.
Telecoms operators do not yet need 3G networks to be able to offer
services such as high-quality picture, sound and text messaging
but can use current GSM-based networks, Nokia Mobile Phones Executive
Vice President Anssi Vanjoki said.
Vanjoki, who runs key mobile phone product business units for Nokia
said the ongoing rollout of so-called multimedia messaging services
(MMS) in Europe were the same as the 3G services much-touted by
operators.
"People are really starting to realize that MMS is 3G. From consumers'
perspective this is 3G. We can have whatever G's but if a consumer
doesn't see a difference he doesn't care which number is before
the G," he said in an interview.
Vanjoki said telecoms operators in Europe realized they did not
yet need to build data services around new costly 3G or WCDMA radio
spectrum networks but could use current ones.
"With WCDMA radio you get... capacity and that is not needed immediately,
of course, because we have ample capacity and lots of possibility
to increase existing capacity in existing networks for GPRS," Vanjoki
said.
