Analysys Research has estimated that Western Europe will be home to 5Million 3G broadband wireless mobile phone device users by the end of 2004:
A report by Analysys Research found that, despite a number of 3G service launches in 2004, there will be just 5.3 million 3G subscribers in western Europe by the end of the year, up from 600,000 at the end of 2003.
But a growing number of major launches, expected to happen towards the end of 2004, will result in "significant growth" in 3G subscriber numbers from 2005 onwards.
Demand for 3G services is then expected to rise quickly, with around 70 per cent (240 million) of all western European mobile subscribers using a 3G-enabled device by the end of 2009.More @
