Utilization of UMTS in Germany

According to the Federal Net Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) the utilization of UMTS services have increased by 263 percent between the years 2005 and 2007. Once more this shows that the mobile internet is unstoppably advancing.
Alltogether more than 1.7 million gigabytes of data are being transmitted. Already ten percent of all households only have a cell phone and no fixed line network anymore. Those of you who would like more information, will find the complete report at the Federal Net Agency.

Customer confidence: Iglo approaches new paths

Most likely every customer has already asked this question. Where in fact do the vegetables come from, that I am eating right now. Iglo addresses this question and prints a numerical code on every package of spinach, which allows you to lookup its origin on their website. As far as all this works reliably, it is outstanding for confidence in the product. With 40 million packages of spinach sold, I imagine it to be quite difficult to achieve an exact classification. I would be interested to know from how many different farms Iglo gets its goods.

Mobile internet: is Germany losing contact?

With the introduction of the iPhone in Germany, it must have become appearent to everyone: the “mobile-internet” via cell phone has arrived in Germany. Although only approx. 70,000 devices have been sold, in terms of usabilty the iPhone sends a clear signal to the competitors. Via touchscreen and browser including zoom, almost any website can be read respectively navigated comfortably. The leading supplier of Advertisment (Admob) on mobile devices, publishes a statistic about the worldwide utilization of the internet on cell phones monthly. In their statistic’s february issue, Germany does not appear, just as in the previous months. As to be expected, the US took 1st place. Less to be expected were the overall placings in the overview:

1. Place 1: USA
2. Place 2: India
3. Place 3: South Africa
4. Place 4: Great Britain
5. Place 5: Indonesia
6. Place 6: Rumania

Germany is not even mentioned or seems to be insignificant in the utilization of the mobile internet. You can speculate over the reasons. One important and crucial reason seems to be the continuing high user fees. A flatrate hardly exists (Exception: T-Mobile with the iPhone).
