<<GPRS melts down above 9.6k and EDGE is vapor ware. T is in big trouble. So are the European companies who are buying into the NOKIA and ERICY b.s. They are surfing the wireless web at 64k TODAY in Korea. Tell me where in Europe they can do that or even WHEN they'll be able to do that.>> Well put. I think I've addressed this 5 or 6 times on MF. Just because the press repeats the 'Europe is more advanced' line over and over does not make it true. The GSM camp must have learned this trick from Clinton. The only reason GSM has made any data progress is because the wireline access in Europe is even more pitiful. Cooters

>>>Do you think Europeans are going to sit by and watch the rest of the world doing wireless web surfing at 128k for $30/month? In Europe it costs ten times that to surf the wireline web.<<< I don't know if people here generally know this, but in England...and I assume in Europe as well...the carriers charge PER MINUTE of connect time to the net. It is ridiculous. This is the kind of thing that has kept me from investing over there in any company. Talk about the Dark Ages. Ricardo Galileo
