Switzerland’s telecoms regulator, ComCom, has renewed the GSM licences of Orange, Sunrise and Swisscom until the end of 2013. As a result, all GSM licences in the country will now expire at the same time, giving ComCom an opportunity to implement a reallocation of the mobile telephony frequencies which are free today or which will become free in 2013 or 2016.
The mentioned reallocation will see ComCom enabling three licensees to use the 900 MHz frequency range for 3G (WCDMA) networks. Orange will receive additional 900 MHz frequencies from Sunrise and Swisscom, while at the same time offsetting that in the 1800 MHz range (i.e. giving up portions of the frequency range to Sunrise and Swisscom).

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.
