Keith Paglusch, operations senior vice president for Sprint PCS, said the next data step for the carrier will be the 1XRTT standard. A so-called 2.5G protocol, it will enable data rates up to about 144 kbps. Paglusch said Sprint PCS would start testing 1XRTT next year, with commercial deployment in 2001. What the hell happened to HDR? I thought that PCS would be rolling out 64kbps service sometime this year. This rollout is way to slow!!! NTT Docomo is supposed to be rolling out full 3G in spring of 2001. If the Q wants to have any hope of penetrating Europe and Japan with CDMA2000, they need to have a fully functioning system set up to force the issue. I really hope that DDI/IDO has a sped up timetable. Am I wrong in remembering that installing HDR was a simple software upgrade of existing basestations? This would then be used in conjunction with handsets that have the MSM3000 (Thinphone). I would think that the Q would almost give this away so they could stimulate sales of handsets. Slacker
