``Anyone who thinks GPRS is going to offer services at 120 kilobits per second is on crack,'' says one London-based analyst."
No, he just hasn't understood GPRS nor that he probably has
five fingers on one hand and one of them probably is
a thumb, nothing like crack is needed, much simpler.
And specifically he hasn't bothered to read about 2-1,3-1
and 4-1 GPRS classes for allocating rx-tx-time slots, like
most other with interest in telecommunication did long time
ago and even used fingers to be sure to do the simple math
correctly.
But what one can be really sure of is that understanding
the factor of channel coding at different rates is much
too much for some soap opera script writers, wherever
they keep their thumb, hopefully safe in the nose.
In a similar way litigation against a transmitter which is
the same as every non-GPRS GSM phone is kind of missing a
thumb or two. The multi slot receiver is surely a difficult
thing to understand, although using the word _powerful_
helps to keep up the story line one was contracted to
produce.

P.S. Although years of "Wap Wednesday" CNBC Europe still
hasn't learned the basics of even using the naviroller
although I'm sure they try very hard, that thumb thing??
At the moment Analyst Adrian awkwardly tries to remove both
I-Mode, "present" WAP and Nokia picture SMS messages from
his nose to get room for WAP2.0.
