Lack of handsets delays BT's 3G launch
British Telecom has confirmed that significant implementations of its third-generation (3G) mobile networks may well be delayed until the beginning of 2003, due to a lack of compatible handsets. While BT's 3G strategy falters, NTT DoCoMo of Japan has announced that it will go ahead with the commercial launch of its 3G service in October, despite concerns over network performance.
