§ Lord Lester of Herne Hillasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they consider it desirable to allow European wireless operators to choose whether to provide 3G services using technology other than W-CDMA. [HL5890]
§ Lord Sainsbury of TurvilleThe UK 3G licensees, all of whom freely chose W-CDMA as their preferred technology, have not requested consideration of another technology. W-CDMA is a logical progression from the successful GSM technology now in widespread use throughout the UK and Europe.
