Group 3G decides its naming was a false dawn

Germany's Group 3G has rebranded itself as Quam in order to push itself onto the market while waiting for 3G technology to turn up.

Quam is owned by Spain's Telefonica Moviles and Finland's Sonera. The company holds a German 3G licence and its two parents are on the verge of launching a GPRS network in Germany in order to cash-in on voice services and establish a customer base.

Quam's GPRS service will serve as the interim technology while the company waits for 3G to take off.
