W Molly, You forgot to consider a few things when you said; I'm not convinced that wireless web browsing will be cellular based either. It's simply too expensive. 'engineer' calculates that 1 2.4Mbps HDR channel consumes as much bandwidth as 700 VOX users. I can't see the network operators buying into that. Remember 2.4Mbps is the total throughput for the whole cell. To put that into terms more familiar with landline connections I think would be 2,400,000 bps. Internet Explorer is telling me I'm connected at 48,000 bps with a 56K modem. If that speed was doubled to make it feel "zippy" then it would be 100,000 bps which would be 24 users downloading streaming video and audio non-stop. But that's not what people browsing the internet tend to do all the time. They are checking stocks, news, weather, sending and reading e-mail or messages like I'm doing right now. So I think there could be 100 times the number of users or 2400 people browsing the internet etc. instead of only the 700 voice users chatting away. Does that put it into better perspective? Bux
