Robert, << T has offered wireless data for over 3 years now, however, their success has been anything but stellar >> I thought you might be interested in this excerpt from an article called "Cellphone CPU's Face Fragmented 3G Data Specs" in EE Times (09/24/99): "Scott Fox, chief executive of Wireless Facilities Inc., predicted that TDMA developers will rally round an Edge-like packet service extending to 384 kbits/second. Sources indicated that AT&T Wireless (the former McCaw Cellular) will abandon the Cellular Digital Packet Data standard in favor of a TDMA-compatible Edge service." eet.com Wondering if you have any insight or would care to comment. << T's plans are to bypass GPRS and go straight to EDGE >> The article seems to confirm your comment (and my previous one). - Eric -
