Within a single decade, mobile telephony has developed into one of the most successful innovations of the last 50 years - comparable to the success of the PC. In Austria alone, 6.5 million people make calls by mobile phone - placing Austrians among the mobile phone's biggest fans.

A leader in innovations like mobilkom austria sets the pace for changes in the market itself - and the mobile Internet is the future. We are only at the beginning of this era, where the mobile phone is fast becoming an 'universal' tool, capable of processing language as well as complex digital data.

In order to guarantee our customers a first class mobile network and more security, new technologies and a comprehensive technological infrastructure are necessary. In October 2002, mobilkom austria took the most important step toward that future by becoming the first European network operator to launch a UMTS network.
