Silly Nords: You would think that since they have been working on WCDMA since the "Repeal of Prohibitian", as they cliam, that they would at least understand it's "real world" performance. Now, they find out that WCDMA = IS95B performance.. <g>
Their next step a press release something like this...
"Dear Mr. Service Provider.. Do to the rapid advancements over the last two years in compression techniques regarding these targeted 3G Interactive Multi-media Wireless Experience , (Audio mp3, Video Quicktime, Real Networks, and Windows Media Player Formats.. We greatly over estimated the requirement for Wireless High Data Rate Transmissions to Mobile Devices.. So in order to better utilize your valuable spectrum.. We have decided that it is much more economically advantages to reduce the data rates to a LOWER VALUE.. But, in reality, the multi-media experiences that we had envisioned back in 1997 will still be fully available.. Yes, Mr. Service Provider.. Thanks to advances in other forms of Multi-Media Compression Techniques, you will be able to get similar Multi-Media user experiences, with the addition of much higher network utilization for other applications.. This is due to the advanced scaleability of our advanced wireless air-interface which has been know as WCDMA, but now we are re-nameing it WCDMAX2.. We here at Nokia/Ericy will continue our unbridled research and development, and lead the world in 3GX2 development.."
