*Actual data rates*<...A high data rate will be touted, because that's what will attract new subscribers, but the actual data rate offered will be much less, and will be dependent on the number of subscribers attempting to register in a given cell.> Service Providers can easily avoid overload and guarantee a minimum data rate by 'Cat's Eyes' marketing. As the number of users logged on goes up and individual user data rates decline, the service provider increases the $$ per megabyte sign in the Cat's Eyes to dissuade people from hitting the 'enter' key to send more data rats through the drain. No worries about poor access times. The service will always be on, always available, faster and cheaper than other services overall since the network will always be busier as users are attracted to the better and cheaper service. CDMA will win again. GPRS and the bleeding EDGE will be ditched after a short [or non-existent for EDGE] life. The same thing will apply to voice. No more 'No service available' signals causing frustrated users. The ATT way of annoying customers is NOT the way to run a wireless network. "All you can eat" is okay for Cricket's voice and "Comfortable Wireless" for a while, but other plans will need to be included at some stage to remain competitive as prices come down and the scramble for customers becomes serious.
