Caxton,

I know you don't have to answer to this one but may be Gregg P or the techwebmaster surfer Mike can jump in.

How much is this 3G system going to cost the bells globally?

All the arguments to date assumed that it is forgone conclusion that everyone will switch. I personally find it hard to believe that I will ever use a cell phone to be downloading huge files. Who knows, by 2002 or whenever this 3G comes on line, I may be cable, fibre optic, ADSL or whatever downloading at 800G per second. My limited tech knowledge tells me that wireless would never be faster than land lines.

Has anyone performed a cost/benefit analysis for 3G? There have been hundreds of posts discussing 3G that may be all for not.
