Neelie Kroes Responds to INTUG’s Letter on Apple’s Restrictive Practices

The IMT-Advanced standard allows for capabilities that go beyond IMT-2000, widely deployed since 2000 and commonly referred to as 3G mobile technologies.
Business users still report little progress in reducing mobile communication costs, improving service quality and coverage, and they continue to experience difficulties in obtaining global contracts, adequate billing and reporting, according to INTUG’s response on a EC consultation on the regulation of mobile communication.
