UMTS is dead
The UMTSWorld: "...UMTS will be the commercial convergence of fixed line telephony, mobile, Internet and computer technology." I think, they are wrong. At least for Internet and computer tech. Why? It is to expensive (remember the licenses price), it starts only this autumn this year in Germany. It is available in Austria, but only with a few hundred users. There is a next generation technology available today: i-BURST with 1Mbps per user data rate today, not only 384Kbps as UMTS now. I like their vision of the "always on" network: will be like radio listening: switch the box on and you are inside. When it will be available in europe? May be, Don Park has it already :)
