3g Condom (is that how you spell it ?)

My friend el Reg again

Seems 3g has an INSATIABLE demand for masts that aint there basically

In the UK :

"For example, Orange has around 20,000 sites, it might get to 3G with 40,000 to 50,000. The big problem is regulation - the agony of getting local government to agree to new sites. Re-using existing sites is the opening gambit - it won't scale though, and they're not in the right places."

So they needs lots more masts to comply with their coverage requirements, cool . But !

Then there's the way a WCDMA cell responds to increasing usage by effectively shrinking, a phenomenon called cell breathing. This means you need more overlapping cells to provide good coverage - and also that the best site for a GSM mast is not necessarily the best for a 3G one

That means it will take yonks to sort the towns out so forget the countryside. But we knew as much except!!!!

. If subscribers really used services such as video streaming and data, the networks would collapse.

Their core offerings so far as we know........Which means that

It all poses uncomfortable questions for the 3G operators. They want to believe that WCDMA is the future, but it could just be a case of the Emperor's New Clothes, where everyone involved has invested so much time, technology and money that no-one dares to admit they've picked a wrong 'un.

Ooppsies .Full Story on el Reg ..Conundrum , is that it ?
