Demand for 3G telephones appears well above European average

According to TNS Telecoms, a market research company, 51% of mobile phone users are interested in the third generation mobile telephone technology (3G), which allows users to send and receive multimedia messages (MMS), e-mails, as well as providing high-speed Internet access. This is a higher percentage than the average for European countries (42%), and much higher than in England or Germany (34%). Mobile phone users in Europe spend an average of euro 26 every month on using their phones, and they are willing to pay euro 6-10 more for the new technology (C/O PMR Ltd, e-Poland No. 88, www.polishmarket.com)
