Cha2,

Interesting article and nice to see a CDMA positive piece out of Newbury, UK (VOD home). It matches up well with a good article called The Evolution of Cellular Data: On the Road to 3G, by Pete Ryssavy which I've probably referenced before:

gsmdata.com

This, however, I did not realize:

Packet data in cdmaOne networks is standard and was built into the IS-95 standard from its inception

This leads me to ask a question that maybe some of the technically astute can answer. When data services were finally initiated by IS-95A carriers, why was circuit switched mode, rather than packet switch mode, used.

If indeed packet data has been standard in IS-95 since its inception, perhaps this accounts for why CDMA got to packet data (IS-95B) quicker and better than GSM, and why they will get to even faster data rates quicker than WCDMA.

Good article. thanks.
