As you probably donīt know in Europe they have GPRS and UTMS
The last one is capable of speeds up to 2Mbit/sec.....I think thatīs
quite enough to watch some porn....and see some vids....
Same goes for phones, palm, laptops which will also use this
technology.....UTMS is even like a fixed line....itīs not a dialup.
Good....I just wanted this out to my American friends.....

True, the markets are very different, and I am aware that wireless is much bigger out there because they have a very old infrestructure and it would take insane ammount of money to lay enuf lines for everyone.
Yes it would definatly be more profitable ot in europe than it would be here. But the main problems are pretty much inherent to the mobile industry no matter where it is.
The fact of the matter is that to have net access portable really isnt too much of an extra convience, not for the hassle it creates/investment required. And I have looked into the mms technology and it doesnt look like video will be a very widly supported concept yet, so you are still stuck ith stills.
Also, the main pushing feature for mms is not or surfing or entertainment per say, they market these little cameras that go with the phones so you can send someone a still of yourself, or whatever you want for that matter. Its designed for inter-personal communication, not media service delivery.
But I'm not necesarily bashing it, I just see some major issues that have yet to be resolved. It has DEFINATE potential, but it also has a long way to go.
