Japan, Australia Ranked Two Most 3G-Ready Nations
A new study has said that Japan and Australia are the two "most ready" nations to adopt 3G technologies. Interstingly, the study looked at much more than early adoption rates, in order to see the likelihood of 3G success going forward. Thus, a country like South Korea, which has had tremendous early adoption of 2.5G and 3G phones ends up in 19th place. The report points out that low personal income and high 3G spectrum license fees may eventually hurt 3G in the country. Other countries rounding out the top five were Finland, the US, and Switzerland.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
