PUCK. Here's why GPRS is in big trouble,in the US. Of course, this will not keep the Euros from deploying GPRS brain cookers in the third world.

GPRS may be dead too. Also, GPRS has a whole host of overheating/health/lo-data-rate problems. This reminds me a lot of the battle of Midway. If you recall, at that battle, the Japanese carriers always seemed to have the wrong type of aircraft on deck. They had torpedo planes when they needed fighters and vice versa. QCOM has allowed GPRS and EDGE to reach some level, thus absorbing competitors' precious time and resources. Now QCOM strikes them both down in one very strategic move. Brilliant, Clean, Simple, Decisive, Understandable. JohnG
