Basically GSM sucks because of dropped calls? What a lot of crap this one. As witnessed in Europe, GSM offers very reliable service with dropped calls below 4%, which is pretty good considering that the figure includes all the guys stepping into steel walled elevators while calling, batteries going flat mid talk and hapless youngsters being run over by trucks meanwhile yapping to their chicks.

(Of course the operator can be crap where you come from, limtex, and probably is, somehow I get the idea.)

And service providers getting a lot more revenue as a result of dropped calls? Sure.
