If users in the United States only expect to use their cellular phones to make phone calls, why will AWE and Cingular be late to market?

If the mobile market remains limited to voice calls, then ATT and Cingular are going to waste about $8-10 Billion between them. They should have left their networks with TDMA (or GSM/TDMA for Cingular).

Of course, I disagree with your premise. The failure of the first PDA (the Newton) didnt stop PDA sales over the last five years....and the failure of WAP over small non-color screens will have little to do with BREW/MMS/JAVA on large color screens.

BTW....PCS actually has 2 million users of wireless data. They generate somewhere between $12 million and $24 million a month. Not a success....but not a total failure either.
