Clark: Who promised those bit rates? The answer is nobody. It has been mentioned many times before on these threads that when systems go commercial they will be far lower. The natural evolution of technology will probably see the bit rate go higher over time. I mentioned some time ago, here, that there was too much hype about 3G's 2Mbps - because that is a load of crap too. The first commercial systems will be far lower at only a few hundred bits per second. I bet nobody will get more than a practical 170kbps in any 3G cdma system when launched, it will soon rise to the touted 384kbps but that would be when stationary, etc. Anyway, why should I moan - my much loved IT department replaced my 56.6 laptop modem with a 28.8kbps (nice move guys!). Jeez, I have even posted here via GSM at 9.6kbps (wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, downloading the porn was a bit frustrating though ;-)
