Point taken, but what do you see happening on the reverse link that requires speeds much faster than 9.6Kbps? A 9.6Kbps reverse link [in the short term] may satisfy the average mobile user. However, a corporate intranet that will use the reverse link to transport company documents and presentations might be annoyed. The point of my original post was to recognize that the [implied full-duplex] GPRS 115Kbps press releases are disingenuous [yes, they all fudge their figures...just not to this extent IMO]. As I see it, GPRS will be deployed in three phases: Phase 1)19.2Kbps Rx/9.6Kbps Tx, estimated deployment Q3/Q4-2000 Phase 2)38.4Kbps Rx/9.6Kbps Tx, estimated deployment Q2/Q3-2001 Phase 3)57.6Kbps Rx/57.6Kbps Tx, estimated deployment Q1-2002 The technical advantages of 1XRTT/HDR when compared to GPRS are overwhelming.
