This week is the 3G World Congress in Barcelona.
Nearly a thousand companies have signed up as exhibitors, showcasing
their latest mobile products and services. I have to admit that I would
love to go, but unfortunately I can’t make it. I’m fanatic of the
telecoms industry!
Let’s hope that the telecoms operators get
their act together this year (2006) and start rolling out the mobile
internet properly. I am tired of waiting for 3G! Come on guys, you are
5 years late and the prices for 3G connection are still astronomical!
