Eric,
1xRTT at 614 kbps in one, and 625 kbps on the forward link ... Give me a break
Looks like you are taking exception with that 1x 614 kbps right?
Now I suggest you go get a copy of IS-2000 standard, check out the spec of physical layer, check out the number of sup channels available, then tell me what would be the Max throughtput it can have.
Make no mistake, I have never been real hot with the peak rate. However that whitepaper IS comparing the apple to apple, that is peak rate to peak rate. And further more, they are using the number from DA STANDARD. So why you want to give you a break?
Look, I know you are trying really hard to be an objective guy, to a point of overdone. I'm more or less giving you your own medicine of nitpicking. There's no doubt both sides are using the very common marketing tricks in promoting their standards. However the things I start to sense recently is the lack of contents from the Nok FUD comparing with the Qcom FUD. It's more and more like the sixers fans chanting "beat L.A."<vbg>
Oh BTW, it seems to me what IJ said in Cannes is looking more and more accurate now.
So is it safe to say the common criticism against it is mainly because of the impact it had on the share price? |
