Abstract
Four years have elapsed since WCDMA service was launched in Western Europe in
2003. Although 3G has yet to become the mainstream mobile communications
technology in the Western European market, the fall in the price of voice
calls and in voice revenue has forced mobile operators in Western Europe to
focus more heavily on their mobile data services; operators are hoping that 3G
data services will boost further growth in the mobile communications market.
With HSDPA technology providing higher transmission speeds, data charge rates
falling, and Web 2.0 applications emerging, 2007 will see aggressive promotion
of 3G/3.5G in the European market. This report examines the development of the
European mobile communications market over the past few years and provides
future trends for this market.
