4th 3G license: Free is the only candidate

holker — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:47:19 +0000

The call for nominations for the fourth 3G license is now over and, not surprisingly, the Iliad Group is the only one to have filed a case.

Today that has ended the call for nominations for the fourth 3G license, which should bring out a new mobile operator on the French market. And though several names have circulated throughout the few months what shall the procedure lasted only group Iliad (Free) has finally filed a case with the Arcep.

The scenario for 2007 is therefore welcome here, because Free was already the only candidate. But if his record does not reflect the financial conditions of that time, the context has changed since. In 2007, the offer was for a block of 15 MHz for which the new entrant would pay 619 million euros in the first year following the award of the license or the same conditions as in 2002 when 3G No did not exist yet.

The refusal of this scenario in 2007 prompted the government to modify the schema. After public consultation conducted by the Arcep, the French telecommunications regulator, a new approach was proposed: the entrance fee was increased to 240 million euros … but for a block of 5 MHz reserved for new entrants, the two portions of 5 MHz may be an offer from the incumbent.

If several candidates seemed more interested in this new proposal, they all withdrew gradually. At issue: the growing uncertainty regarding the deployment of new 3G network operator.

A forest of obstacles in perspective

Because since 2008, it is true that organized revolt against the base stations, including the supposed negative effects on health have led to a proliferation of appeals calling for their withdrawal, and while the issue of new regulations lowering exposure limits is sought by the associations.

Samsung I8000 Omnia II review: A surprising experience

holker — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 04:42:19 +0000

Samsung’s top tier of Omnia devices is populated by some seriously heavy-hitters – first the 720p video recording Omnia HD and now the Omnia II – with its best-in-the-business display, WM 6.5, zippy processor and preloaded software galore, it will certainly win the hearts and minds of Windows Mobile fans.

It’s no secret that the Samsung Omnia II has the HTC Touch Diamond2 in its sights. The Omnia II has several advantages, not the least of which is the amazing 3.7″ AMOLED WVGA display. For the acronym-allergic – WVGA means 480 x 800 pixels resolution, which several years ago might have been considered acceptable for a computer monitor. That resolution is not so uncommon today, the exciting part here is “AMOLED” – active matrix organic LED. Or in plain English – brilliant picture quality.

It doesn’t end there – the 667MHz CPU is one of the speediest around and the available capacities of up to 16GB built-in memory and up to 32GB external storage via microSD card offer more than enough memory expansion. There’s Wi-Fi and GPS, the autofocus camera shoots 5MP stills and D1 video at 30fps and has dual-LED flash, there’s DivX playback out of the box and HSDPA and HSUPA push the phone to great wireless speeds.

Key features:
