The 3G auction came at the height of the dotcom frenzy, when inflated prices were being paid for assets in telecoms and information technology. The agency also reserved a block of spectrum for a new entrant: that intensified competition and raised prices across the board. Moreover, mobile operators reasoned that without 3G they would have no business at all. “The operators were paying for their survival,” says Matthew Howett of Ovum, a research firm.|| They were left without the money to deploy 3G quickly, to the disgruntlement of customers and shareholders.|| Others have proved more adept at providing other mobile services, such as search and music, than the operators were themselves.

1:3G服务拍卖适逢互联网发展的高潮，彼时购买电信信息技术产品的价格也有虚高之嫌。||2:无线电通讯技术局还特地留了一手：加剧竞争和全线上调价格。||3:进一步讲，用移动运营商们的总结来说，没有3G技术，他们就毫无生意可做。||4:欧文研究所的马修·郝威特表示：“3G技术对运营商们来说生死攸关。”||5:如果不能尽快完成3G服务的布局，运营商将带着顾客和股东们的不满从这个市场出局。||6:而其他的参与者已经显示出他们比运营商本身更能玩转3G服务，比如他们能提供搜索和音乐等其他移动服务。

||1: Mr Esteves has ambitions for BTG to become the dominant investment bank in all of Latin America. ||2: The bank, like Brazil itself, has had a growth spurt in the past few years, forging into new business lines and countries through a spate of acquisitions. ||3: A week before the IPO Mr Esteves was fined 350,000 Euro (457,000 Dollar) for insider trading by Consob, the Italian regulator, which said he bought shares in an Italian meat company in 2007 before a joint venture with JBS, a Brazilian firm, was publicly announced. ||4: Mr Esteves denies the allegations. ||5: Investors shrugged: the IPO was said to be three times oversubscribed. ||6: They are too keen to buy into Mr Esteves to be put off by the controversy, or by any disgruntlement on the part of his colleagues.

||1:埃斯特维斯胸怀壮志，他的梦想是让BTG成为拉丁美洲首屈一指的投行。||2:同它的祖国巴西一样，BTG在过去数年中获得了迅速增长，借助一连串收购交易，扩大了经营范围，开拓了外国市场。||3:在BTG上市的一周前，意大利证券监管机构CONSOB因埃斯特维斯参与内幕交易，对他做出了罚款35万欧元（45.7万美元）的决定。CONSOB称，埃斯特维斯在2007年得知，一家意大利肉制品企业将与巴西的JBS公司建立合资公司，赶在消息公布前购入了该公司的股票。||4:对于CONSOB的指控，埃斯特维斯做出了断然否认。||5:投资者则根本不把此事放在心上：据说BTG的IPO获得了3倍的超额认购。||6:他们实在太想从埃斯特维斯那里买到股票了。在投资者的眼里，关于他的争议或者同事们对他的任何不满，全部是浮云。
