Claude,
<< is there no relationship between max throughput and capacity? >>
Yes.
<< if you are capable of providing "X BPS", and instead you find the market is really for small apps that only need "x bps" then can't you service many more customers (apps) at lower speeds? >>
Yes.
<< If so, seems to me that the REAL CDMA advantage is not speed (although it is one) but capacity. >>
So far as I am concerned that is, and has been, the real primary advantage of CDMA - in our current wireless world, the real primary advantage of narrowband CDMA, whether we are talking voice, or data.
At any moment in time, this technology is faster than that technology, but that is transitory.
<< 1X EV DO will only add to that advantage. >>
It will. It is more efficient for data than 1xRTT is for data ...
... however 1xEV-DO in most implementations will be combined with 1xRTT for voice and will be used primarily for relatively high bandwidth applications, and the penalty is that 1xEV-DO is essentially taking available capacity from voice or fully integrated voice and data services.

QUACK, QUACK <ggg>
