Bite launches HDSPA (Video)

Bite Latvija has launched UMTS and HSDPA services in five Latvian cities(Riga, Jurmala, Ventspils, Liepaja, Daugavpils), with two more (Rezekne and Jelgava) to follow shortly. A business voice and data package is also offered. At the end of a year of operations, it claims 155 000 users. Here is what Bite Group CEO Maarten van Engeland had to say to Telecoms in Latvia.



Please note that the 12 % he refers to is 12 % of the total market, not the business market. At some point, Bite hopes to get around a third of the business user market.

Pricing is suprising! Well, agree to Bleveland, that Bite seems will keep focus on business customers, however then I think it will not be possible to reach predicted 12%. Hope this is an error from Bites side and they are still working on pricing policy.
But in general - this improvement and yet another competitor in UMTS and HSDPA services will be a good reason to give another boost to the market and end-users.

In todays Diena there is a topic on Baltcom's decision to become a mobile operator quote: "i a classical meaning". Any comments on that?

I think they will try to launch an MVNO, just like IZZI.

I just read in Telegraf that Lattelecom is going mobile next year as well

Thanks, anonymous. I don't read Russian, so it helps when someone reports to me :).
