At year-end, only 1.4 percent of worldwide GSM customers used GPRS services, while CDMA 1x users accounted for 17 percent of CDMA subscriptions., from the GPRS article. I have a hard time accepting this comparison. Does this just mean that 17 percent of the CDMA user base has been converted to CDMA1x phones? As EricL is wont to say, his wife may be considered a 1X user, since she carries a verizon 1x voice phone. Here in america, I doubt if 17 percent of the 1X users have ever even touched the sprint WEB button on their new Vision phones. Conversely, most areas that have GSM have not even rolled out GPRS, so the comparison again fails. for an apples to apples comparison, i would like to know the percentage breakdown of 2.5G/3G users that avail themselves of data services between the two technologies. For instance, do are people who carry vision capable phones more likely to use data services than people who carry mMode capable phones? That is a very different question, but speaks more directly towards the issue of technology adoption. Pyslent
