A slight correction about GP as a tech.pub: Goteborgs-Posten is one of the larger daily newspapers in Sweden with a tech. section called Teknik & Trender. See http://www.gp.se/gp/jsp/Crosslink.jsp?d=697. I do believe that's a fact.

Furthermore, early adoption has it's traits and always will: Due to the debate about 3G and health hazard issues, 3G antennas use directed radio antennas with radio-waves pointing in a specific direction. If you're even a couple of paces below, behind or at the side of an antenna, you're out of luck, as I understand it. See http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD/pc=PC_1746 and look for the section about taxi?s two-way radios.
