The Economist has an article on 3G roll-outs and the potential successes or failures of the technology. As usual, “bells-and-whistles” don’t get a look in.
“In Europe at least, 3G’s appeal centres not on the much-vaunted attractions of video telephony, but on the extra oomph and flexibility that it gives to voice calls and messaging. By offering large bundles, or “buckets”, of minutes as part of their monthly tariffs, operators hope to encourage subscribers to dump their fixed-line phones in favour of 3G.”
