HP - How well will GSM and WCDMA handle wireless data transmission such as internet information?

The simple answer is CDMA (CDMAOne, CDMA2000, WCDMA) is better at handling widely varying bursty data rates in a cell system with multiple transmitters and receivers. That is why it is proposed for the 3g standard. However, even the best CDMA technologies proposed are unlikely to be able to handle the data rates required in 20 years (no surprise, the best wireline technology of 20 years ago couldn't handle the data being transmitted today). The next step is probably the addition of Adaptive Array Antenna to CDMA, and it sounds like Bell Labs is part of the way there (although it is hard to tell, even after reading the paper). I hope Qualcomm is working on it as well.
