While Palestinians and Israelis are moving ahead with peace talks, Israel will allow the Palestinians to set up a new cell phone network to meet growing demand.
Israel controls all frequencies for cell phones in the West Bank and Gaza, and ever since violence erupted between the sides in 2000, Israel’s defense ministry has turned down repeated Palestinian requests to establish a second network.
At the moment, Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza have only one cell phone network, which has operated since the 1990s.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
