  • The industry has gambled on the success of UMTS and suffered from handset and infrastructure delays and overall poor market sentiment;
  • benchmark-it analysis shows France is the most attractive of the 15 European markets profiled in which to be a 3G player;
  • Regulation is becoming and will continue to become increasingly centralised in Europe - in the meantime, in most countries, national regulatory agendas are moving from licence allocation to market manipulation.
