engineer, If AT&T sells CDPD as a modem for laptops for downloads or to be used by GUI browsers, I can see your scenario of running out of capacity quickly. But if used by mini-browsers in the handsets, it sends and receives only tiny bits of data, probably no more than one packet at the time, which is sent in a fraction of a second. It's virtually free, since it just fills gaps. I would guess it is a lot more efficient than circuit switched data offered by Sprint. I don't know the mechanics, but my guess is that it takes up constant bandwidth whether or not you are sending data. Do you know if they have any kind of optimization or compression for this? Joe
