Lakers, << Thanks for pulling that one up from the closet >> Did you notice the reference to "vaporware" in that article. Maybe Ira got that from Maurice? One more piece of nostalgia from Ira here: Message 13865035 Think about this. In November 1995, GSM launched commercial in the US, beating CDMA to market by one full year. It had a big theoretical advantage over CDMA. It did data at the amazing speed of 9.6 kbps. Here we are, almost 5 years later. GSM still does 9.6 kbps (anywhere). CDMA does 14.4 kbps here, 64 kbps in Korea and Japan, and before we know it we'll be at 144 kbps. At that time GSM GPRS will be struggling to get to half the speed of a V.90 modem. I will vote for competing standards any day of the week. - Eric -
