The UK’s Competition Appeal Tribunal has upheld Ofcom’s objection to O2 and Vodafone launching 3G services over 2G (900MHz) spectrum. The EU policy, however, permits 3G in 900MHz if the national regulator ensures fair competition. But the European policy gurus are silent on replacing copper wire with fiber. The EU regulators, precisely the ones in continental Europe, notoriously over-mystified 3G in early 2000. The Scandinavian regulators, however, carefully avoided the scandalous auction of 3G spectrum. As a result, the wireless broadband walks in Western Europe and runs across Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark. Finnish operator, Elisa, had launched the world’s first 3G over 2G spectrum in 2006. Its neighbors followed such natural phenomenon. Finland has also declared accessing the Internet at minimum 2 megabits per second speed the birthright of its citizens. Let’s see how long Her Majesty’s government takes to do that. Cellular News reports.
