Harald, interesting information! Do you have a link to those carrier predictions? -- Alexander Chemeris Sent from my Android device. Sorry for my brevity.

They all only use 2100 MHz for 3G, not the lower 900/1800 MHz bands (which they could do legally after a EU regulation). But yes, indoor coverage can be really bad. For example in my apartment it is difficult to have 3G of all operators, and the one I use mostly (Eplus) barely has 2G coverage here. T-mobile and Vodafone are generally better. It's of course different if you're at major locations like train stations or the big squares downtown... Another note: I've recently seen some operator predictions for Germany, and they assume something like GSM being in operation until 2020 - definitely significantly longer than the life time of their existing GSM licenses (expiring in 2016). This tells us a lot about the installed/deployed user base, as well as the limited 3/3.5/4G coverage..
