US 3G Market   Message List  
Reply Message #595 of 1070 |
Hi everyone,

Can anyone give me a quick snapshot of what the potential 3G/mobile broadband market is like now in the states?  As far as i know I've heard some mumurs of slow data services like EDGE and then some movements towards Wi-MAX but where/when will WCDMA/HSDPA start entering the market?

I noticed that there are a number of you guys on the list from the bay area and was also wondering if you are developing mobile internet for local consumption or for international usage?

Thanks.

Alex
