Hey Tero, always good to see your rants reappear. BTW, the new Nokia multichannel technology will boost the data traffic rate for GSM handsets to 56 kbps from 14 kbps. So when Qualcomm is launching its 14 kbps smartphone in -99 Nokia can deliver a 56 kbps alternative. Can I assume from this that you read nothing about the recent QCOM showing at the PCS show? Well let's recap. They showed an advanced high data rate solution that they had made that already did something like 2Mbps (someone correct me if I am wrong), I think that beats your paltry experamental systems and 56k by quite a wide margin. But enough bragging, I have a question for you. In a TDMA system doesn't it impact capacity pretty severely to string channels together? If so I wonder what capacity penalty Nokia is paying for this data rate. If I remember right I think that in a CDMA system you only pay an extremely slight penalty (a little higher noise floor) for stringing channels together. It seems to me that with CDMA you can bake your cake and eat it too in this case where in TDMA (GSM) you can either have voice or data, not both, without paying severe penalties.
