GM's wireless data service is about to turn your car into a four-wheeled vertical portal.

For the moment, however, those applications are hamstrung by the analog cellular phone that serves as OnStar's primary conduit to the outside world. Analog cellular delivers pervasive, nationwide coverage, but at a price: low, low 2400-baud bandwidth that can't support simultaneous voice and data communications. The trickle forces OnStar's advisers to put customers on hold while remotely updating a car's GPS position or unlocking its doors. It's impractical to even contemplate downloading detailed map images to the car, to say nothing of on-demand video.

Eliminating this bottleneck won't be easy, and there's a broader push afoot among telecom providers to build a common platform for all wireless applications
