HDR sounds great, but is the bandwidth required for widespread use of HDR going to available (as qdog asked)? Will operators have to give up some voice capacity to implement HDR? How will that be possible given the growth requirements of voice alone? Also, the following from a Nortel exec: "Lots of operators have their spectrums completely full. If they deploy HDR they ... lose capacity to carry voice, which pays the bills," said Dave Marchigi, vice president of marketing at Nortel Networks. Nortel currently supports a different standard, 1xrtt, which would provide slower data rates but allows the mingling of voice and data. "Until the demand for data traffic is really there, (HDR) is a tough business argument." msnbc.com
