Thanks for the refresh and for some new information that I was unaware of. I needed for you to explain, in order to shock the storage cells of my brain where this stuff was scheduled for purge. I guess I'll adjust the retention cycle to hold it for another couple of years ;-)

"I really have to start a traffic analysis of 3G spectrum utilization by data. I'm very skeptical of the claims that voice and data can share the spectrum to handle 1 megabit data traffic. "

If you take the time to go through this thread's history, you will come across a number of posts wherein I seriously question the traffic handling capabilities of live 3G models. A 2 Mb/s rated line speed, per se, does not guarantee anything in the greater context of the access platform's characteristics. Contention, resource arbitration and negotiation issues will surface, and although there may be some really fast "hopping" taking place in order to optimize air resources, we still come down to a limited amount of spectrum per sector.

Said spectrum must accommodate variable and unpredictable usage patterns. Are we talking throughput caps here?

Sector sizing and cost tradeoffs will become all important, I would think. But the proponents, even down to the chip designers, IMO, have been overly aggressive in their promises of what's in store for tomorrow's Dick Traceys. At least during the near terms being suggested, 1 to 2 years out. [As I'm writing this I'm listening to MSFT's CEO in the background discuss Microsoft ME. Another discussion.]
