could more realistically turn out to be 50 to 70 kbps initially (once networks are optimized and stabilized)

The speed issue is really a very fuzzy concept overall. There are two parts of the same thing, network throughput and the speed that a user gets. Overall a sector throughput is really determined by how much the voice users are in the area. Data users are less important than the voice users. But let's say you allocate about 1/4 of the system resource i.e. the TX power to the data users, then the average TP of a sector is about anywhere between 100kbps to 250kbps depending on number of users, distribution of the users, radio environment, applications and scheduling policy.

From a user point of view, his speed will be high if less users are in the sector. From a networks point of view, its throughput actually increases with more users because of the user diversity.

The biggest challenge with networks is how to optimize the scheduler for all the users. Just like running a horse racing, you need a good horse and a good jockey combo to win.
