It didn't seem likely, but vendors are now claiming that every European operator is considering EDGE and even going so far as to declare the discussions over. Keith Dyer reviews how the race was run.

English translation Alan Hadden says "2003 was the year of EDGE" Global Mobile Volume 10, Number 22 - December 3, 2003 2003 has been another highly successful year for GSM, whose customer growth in the past 12 months has exceeded the cumulative total of any other technology. With GSM poised to smash the 1 billion-subscriber milestone, there is hardly a country left that does not have GSM. As WCDMA networks build up, South Korea and Japan become fully integrated into the global GSM community with the availability of dual-mode GSM/WCDMA phones and international roaming. Published by Baskerville, part of Informa Telecoms Group July 2003 GSM AND GPRS AND EDGE AND WCDMA: Q AND A The Global Mobile suppliers Association (GSA) estimates that more than 40 GSM operators have committed to deploy EDGE, beginning in North America and extending to APAC, South America and, most recently, Western and Eastern Europe. GSA president Alan Hadden explains why he and the GSA believe the globalisation of EDGE is well under way. First published in the 3GSM Review, July 2003. Informa Telecoms & Media May 27, 2003 GSM's WORLD DOMINATION Mobile operators across the world are benefiting from the increasingly rapid spread of advanced communication services, but details as simple as the design of handsets can still impact customer take-up. First published in The M-Business Agenda March, 2003 EDGING EVER CLOSER TO REALITY EDGE commercialisation is expected to commence this year. Alan Hadden, GSA President, updates Middle East Communications on the industry's commitment to EDGE as a viable and effective technology First published in Middle East Communications March 2003. Copyright 2003 ICOM Publications Limited February 18, 2003 LOOKING OVER THE EDGE Earlier this week over 160 operators and vendors gathered on the Siemens boat to discuss the potential for the EDGE technology. The EDGE Operator Forum meeting organised by the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) heard that over 19 operators around the world have already publicly committed to EDGE and many more in Asia, Latin America and Europe are expected to pledge their support in the near future. First published in the GSM Daily, by Mobile Communications International February 18, 2003 THE CASE FOR EDGE EDGE has moved up in the thinking of many GSM operators around the world in evolving their 3G services offer. The first commercial networks will launch in the Americas in early 2003, and numerous commitments to deploy EDGE have been announced, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. Multi-band EDGE phones for the 850/1800/1900 MHz bands have been announced. The first international call using EDGE handsets has been made. Several operators in Europe are now undertaking EDGE trials. First published in the GSM Daily, by Mobile Communications International January 28, 2003 PROMOTING PROGRESS With a defined roadmap to 3G and the success of SMS paving the way for MMS growth, the path to the next growth phase of GSM seems clear. But, as the Global Mobile Suppliers Association is aware, success is not automatic. It requires planning, encouragement and support. First published in 3GSM World Focus 2003, by Informa Telecoms Group January 28, 2003 A FUTURE IN THE BALANCE? 2002 was not a good year for the mobile communications industry. The media hammered 3G at every opportunity, operators and vendors suffered from continuous downward pressure on their share prices, and the end of the year saw the resurrection of the mobile health scare. Against this backdrop how did GSM fare? Will the problems outweigh the promise? And what does 2003 hold for GSM?

However, that doesn't necessarily mean that the US is actually behind in terms of 3G technology (not counting the low-speed cdma2000 1x service). EDGE is a 3G technology and has, to date, only been revealed as part of the evolutionary strategy of US operators, but that could soon change. - Lifted from 3G Bulletin, a visiongain publication.
