Ahhh, maybe you should slap yourself harder on the left side of the head this time, Caxton.
First you compare the data rates of GSM, an older technology with over 400+m subscribers, with the data rates of 1X, a newer technology yet to be deployed....
Don't forget how much slower GSM data rates are compared to 1X
.....Then you make an absolutely IGNORANT statement easily refuted by verifiable facts -- Motorola's $200m in telematics revenues for the 1H2000 -- that I handed to you as a matter of courtesy.
telematics may not work until WCDMA is brought forth in Europe, maybe 2-3 years.
And then instead of acknowledging that gaffe like a man and instead of trying to connect the dots between the I-Mode phenomenon at 9.6 kbps, the type of mobile services being readied in the pipeline (location-, time-, user-sensitive), and the size of the telematics opportunity represented by trade on the Eurasian land mass, you twist my words to mean that "data rates aren't a big deal?" ROFLMAO.
Take your emotional arguments and get lost, Caxton. |
