re: Flaky 2.5G & 3G The GPRS always-on mobile communications data service will be "pretty flaky" at launch and so will third-generation (3G) technology, says Chris Gent, Vodafone's chief executive. After the consumer disappointment with WAP, Gent cautions that the next wave of mobile services should not be built up too much. "GSM was flaky before it became good," he said. "GPRS will face the same issues and so will 3G. There is a gestation period with these things. The danger is you overhype it all and end up disappointing the consumer." Worth repeating. "There is a gestation period with these things. The danger is you overhype it all and end up disappointing the consumer." Most assuredly worth repeating. - Eric -
