You are right, all wireless technologies have some overhead, even the memory bus of a computer has overhead and CDMA is no exception. Actual throughput is what matters. I don't know if the total throughput figures cited for HDR include the overhead or not. During the HDR demo Irwin quoted some real-world figures for 1XRTT (precursor of HDR) of 100+Kb/sec. which sounds pretty fast to me since I feel lucky if my 56K modem connects at 49 Kb/sec. I'm not sure if this figure includes the control bits or not but it is a mute point since the speed you get is dependant upon how many users there are and how clean your signal is which is why Irwin quoted a real world figure in addition to the maximum possible figure. HDR is much faster. Bux
