Maurice,

Great rant, it was worth waiting for. Minor disagreement though.

>>But you'll notice in the USA that the economics of PCS [=2GHz] is
proceeding very happily. Capacity is the key. While the
basestations are more closely packed, they provide access for
more subscribers so they end up fully used anyway. As you tried to
say, they also have higher data rates available for a given
bandwidth.<<

I don't believe data rate per bandwidth has anything to do with carrier frequency. The modulation is done at a lower "IF" frequency and then upconverted to the transmit frequency. You don't send any more information with 5Mhz of bandwidth at 2Ghz than 800Mhz. Please enlighten me if I'm wrong. I do have a degree in trees, but I've made my living in communications for the last 20 years.

Pete
