re: As I recall, Dr. Jacobs said there are capacity and speed advantages to offering voice and data on separate carriers due to timing constraints, ie., data can wait half a second while voice delayed that long will cause awkward conversations (both people starting to talk at the same time is problematic). In order to consider the above one has to understand at what times a user would be using both voice and data at the same time, for the timing issues to be of a concern. I would venture to say that less then 15% of the time a user would be send/rec. voice and data at the same time. Correct me if I'm wrong. If so what is the big deal, other then the issue you put forth? greg
