Expectations are running high for third-generation (3G) services. People envision using terminals capable of handling web access, video images and high-resolution graphics in the near future, just to name a few applications. And they expect to be able to do this from anywhere, at any time, instantly. To provide these services, GSM/GPRS operators will have to increase the speed of their existing 115 kb/s GPRS services. What investments in your radio network will you have to make to turn this vision into reality? Can you reuse your entire radio network infrastructure? These questions are only the tip of the technology iceberg. First, you'll have to address some more fundamental questions about your business. What are the market trends? How do these trends affect your business goals? And do you change your plans for the future in order to capitalize on emerging opportunities?
