Microsoft has conceded defeat in its battle to fledge the Xbox into the online world in Europe this year. As the beta-testing gets underway in Europe, first impressions of the service have been hugely favourable, with testers reporting rapid data exchange and low ping. The reason for the delay is said to be that the infrastructure will not in place in time, however the US Xbox Live still launches in the US on the 15th November this year. A Europe-wide launch is now expected in Spring 2003.

I know it was psoted on that website but i mean they provided no source. Besides if they are beta testing in europe now or very soon they must have the infrastructure in place.
