What about UK?
Here in UK the "major" mobiles phones have not even launched the 3G phones, and correct me if I am wrong, has anyone heard of a 4G licence? The 3G licence was the biggest robbery ever from government, as they took the incredible amount of 30 Billion(yes with a B) from phone companies, and of course they are charging more...As an example, text messages are charged up to higher 1500% (yes one thousand five hundred) than their real price.
We wonder what they will charge for a 100mb speed...And we wonder too if this time really mobile companies will put any money into it....
By charging so high, gov. has jeopardozed the whole future of mobile telphony, as getting back 30 billions does not happen overnight.
