GPRS Data Rates to Be Capped

6:48:14 AM 10/9/2000 New GPRS phones to be launched this year will have limited
transmission speeds to prevent them from overheating and to keep within radiation
absorption limits. As a result, few of the phones will be able to deliver on their lofty
promises, which virtually guaranteed light speed data access. However, all is not
lost; GPRS phones will charge users by the data bit rather than the minute of use,
so users will only pay for the content they download. GPRS services also will be
"always on," so users will be able to see data as soon as it arrives on the phone.
Reported by RDSL. No further information available.
