Been hunting for info on HDR and came across this on the Q website.....

qualcomm.com

Optimized Throughput

use of a single 1.25 MHz channel optimized for packet data results in greatest spectral efficiency

peak data rate of 2.4 Mbps on the forward link and 307 kbps on the reverse link provides unprecedented speed

average throughput on a loaded sector is an estimated 600 kbps on the forward link and 220 kbps on the reverse link

dynamically assigned data rate adjusts as rapidly as every 1.67 mSec, providing every subscriber with the best possible rate at any given moment


I think the key question is how many users would represent a "loaded sector". I think that 600kbps would be good enough for most wireless users.....HDR is starting to get interesting.
