GPRS being less popular

1. Pretty bad infrastructure on GPRS – one on within circle, two in roaming and three on speeds

2. Lack of handsets (being price sensitive, too few,,, while thats changing pretty fast now)

3. Lack of device management tools,,, meaning just about 20% of capable handsets are enabled for GPRS

4 Lack of killer apps as yet
(well again changing at fast pace with just a blackberry email app)

5. Consumer awareness and low internet penetration (while this finally would cause high usage in the end state)

There are no weightage for thes points and they vary from operator to operator & region too!

Slightly complex, but fairly good subject for deliberation.
