3G services to Surge

Jessie Shen of DigiTimes notes that the Economic Daily News carried an interview with Mike Wang, general manager of Nokia Taiwan, on the state of 3G. The article is quoted as saying

The number of 3G subscribers should climb from 5.9 million at present to 20 million by year-end, said Wang, adding that there will be around 60 ISPs (Internet service providers) and telecom providers rolling out the service, from 33 currently. He also added that with 40 3G-phone models to choose from, the quick pace of adoption by the end of this year is not unusual.
