Eric L: You are indeed awake. Thanks as usual. And again, as usual I both learn from and agree with much of your info.
Re: Tiger Woods, are you saying that Tiger Woods is using a bag with GPRS and EDGE clubs? Think he is too sharp for that.
Perhaps his New Zealand caddy would advise he have CDMA and HDR (1xEV) clubs in his bag. <g>
In any event, in the real world again, to call GSM ubiquitous is a stretch. Yes, there will be some sort of GSM base in many countries where there will also be a CDMA base, but the GSM base will be weak in comparison to the CDMA base in North and South America, and many parts of Asia - where China is the swing player of the future. And of course there is no GSM in Japan so "ubiquitous" is taking a bit of poetic license, no?
Still curious what you know about speed limits in current spectrum. You speak of it as fact in Japan. Are similar limits in place elsewhere to you knowledge? This could indeed be a huge problem for 1xEV.
Re: GPRS, even giving it the benefit of the doubt, it is like using one of the new popular scooters IMO - a slight advance over walking, but not running, and not even close to a bicycle such as 1X, let alone the motorcycle that 1xEV will be.
Also do you expect EDGE to be a real competitor, and if so where and when?
Still learning.
Best.
