European third-generation (3G) networks at 64kbs....
----------

<g>

Ooops!

64kbs isn't 3G.

"..The launch speed of 64 kb/s might be even slower in practice if lots of users cram the network.."

<ggg>

Gives you and indication what Gent expects from GPRS...

What a chuckle.

Of course, dropping speed will not in any way negate endemic, chronic asynchronous handoff and associated
power consumption problems presently besting NTT... And count the base stations NTT presently has in Tokyo
(still with failing service) and begin to get a feel for the quantity that would be required throughout Japan - or for
Gent's networks... Gent's projections for any commercial UMTS service (outside a city test like NTT's) in
Europe in 2002 is, at best, a pipe dream.

Appears to be no need for Gent to worry about cdma2000/UMTS compliant networks and handsets.... Unless he
alters course, Q's cdma2000/GSM chipsetsets will fit the bill in perpetuity.
