Eric,
It appears to me that this business of generational classification (i.e., 2.5G, 3G, 4G, etc.) has gotten a bit out of hand. This is not directed at you, per se. But in a general sense, why presume to advance to a fourth of fifth generation when the second and a half and the third generations have yet to be fulfilled? Unless the industry is willing to admit that it missed the boat altogether and must move on. Is that what is happening here? If not, is it "technology" that we're dealing with here, or is it "word play?" I just had to ask.
There is nothing wrong, IMO, with prognosticating about the eleventh or twentieth generations of wireless. But I also think that we have to keep things in perspective by establishing a sound foundation for just what it is that makes up the third generation, first. Call me old fashioned, but a missed boat doesn't constitute a generation gap. It just means that someone missed the boat, and the next generation is still the third.
BTW, Good Luck with the new thread!
