GSA expresses its perspectives on how the mobile data market potential in Hong Kong can be maximized, based on experiences from dozens of advanced mobile markets globally. Key conclusions include:
-The GSM evolution to 3G using EDGE/WCDMA/HSDPA is defined, stable and rapidly maturing, and continues the openness philosophy with the backing of over 85% of the world¿s mobile operators. -There is no justification for introduction of a new mobile operator in a market already acclaimed as amongst the most competitive in the world, with amongst the lowest tariffs. A new player, far from stimulating competition, would most probably hinder market development in Hong Kong. -Implementation of a system technology other than the GSM family does not provide any guarantee of data services market success or quality of performance. -Automatic International Roaming is a basic market requirement for all services - voice and data, particularly in Hong Kong due to Hong Kong¿s position as the business centre of Asia.
