Bux, as I recall from the webcast, the half-second referred to something like a login time; I don't think the implication is that each access takes up to a half second. One of the speakers who gave some details on the distinction between data and voice was the VP of R&D, Pascovani?? (ruff, help me out!--The Italian Guy <g>), as I recall, he said delays on the order of 30 ms or so became unacceptable for voice but worked for data (I could be off by a few 10's of ms, but I don't think they were implying 500 ms). Maybe I'm wrong, though. Having said that, your interpretation does make sense, if interactive is taken to mean "playing games" requiring sub-100ms response rate.
