re : Data Delays Certainly people will accept some data delays to save money. But not much delay and not everybody. Some people will want their IP packets NOW!! Not in half a second. Half a second doesn't seem long, but when you put up with half second delays 100 times an hour or even day, it becomes annoying. Maurice - if certain people can't accept delays in their data service I'm sure the service providers will be more than happy to charge them an arm and a leg for a connection oriented service. Packet data services guarantee packet delivery, not when they arrive. Anyway, I think that the delay issue is overblown. Packet Delays will manifest themselves as a temporary reduction in the overal bit rate seen by the application. I doubt users will notice occasional 1/2 second delays. I don't believe one would see 100 discrete delay events an hour, unless one was mobile in an area with major fading conditions. In this case, all protocol schemes would experience delays or dropped data. w.
