Curtis- Thank you. Now I can quote the statements directly and my memory isn't as bad as I thought it was. Apparently I was pretty accurate in recounting what I read.

Bernard, Peter, and Thread- Here's is what David Nagle(CTO of AT&T) said verbatim, which really surprised me. -MikeM(From Florida)

TDMA and GSM vendors and service carriers have put immediate self interest aside and agreed to converge on a new technology called EDGE (Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution), which promises seamless operation of both voice and data systems over much of the globe. Customers will soon be able to have a single wireless handset or other mobile device that will work everywhere.

In contrast to what Mr. Gilder would have you believe, the technology for EDGE is ready, the global standards for it have been worked out, and orders for EDGE equipment have been placed with wireless vendors. EDGE-based services will begin to roll out in markets next year, a year earlier than Mr. Gilder states. As a result, those half billion TDMA customers will enjoy seamless services globally by the middle of this decade. EDGE customers will enjoy spectacular, always-on 384 kilobit per second data services that approach the performance levels associated today with fixed broadband technologies like cable, DSL and our own fixed wireless service.
