Sustaining the European lead
- which metrics do you use to measure such a lead?
- when was it lost?
- can it be regained?
- does it matter?
The counter-case of the USA
- multiple standards
- cellphones only for business people
- the death of LEOs
- the home of the WLAN and UWB
The counter-case of the Republic of South Korea
- the adherence to CDMA and CDMA 2000
- the growth of exports
- the link to fixed (e.g., Nate)
Assigning spectrum
- the roles of the ITU-R and WRC
- beauty contests
- auctions
- the problems with auctions
- the UK and German auctions
After the assignment party
- can the 3GSM operators deliver?
- what do they mean by "regulatory flexibility"?
