Engineer - All CDMA channels are really packet based. I agree - as I said in my original post. the carrier could assign them as they became freed up, not necessarily in a locked step or grouped fashion. Also, if it were packet, then the users can get UP TO 64k bps, which is what I think the service actually is that MOT is offering Again, I agree. The point of my original post was that in IS-95B, compared to HDR, many more resources are locked up when the user isn't using his 'assigned' bandwidth, and thus, although all CDMA standards are more 'packetized' than TDMA, there are probably still per-line charges for IS-95B. It would be interesting to try to list all of the resources which are locked up and why, for instance: In 95B, do each of the channels assigned to the user continue to broadcast at 2 kbps even when the user is sending nothing? Did they increase the number of channels available on the forward link to accomodate lots of very bursty traffic all confined to multiples of 14.4 kbps links? Clark
