Tero, << At the same time, GPRS as a TDMA upgrade is now a serious proposition, which is wasn't last January >> OK, I'm curious. Do you envision this as simply a data overlay to IS-136 TDMA on an ANSI-41 network or as a network replacement with an evolved GSM/MAP core? In 800 MHz spectrum as well as 1900 MHz? Loose Lynette's bold new rumor (and Seybold's speculation) about AT&T going GSM has me curious. AT&T is in the same boat as Cingular with both 800 MHz spectrum as well as 1900 MHz. 800 MHz GSM/GPRS gear for the Americas? Do you suppose that is a possibility? I would appreciate your thoughts. << nearly a year has passed now since the 1XRTT-GSM speculation started. And no major or minor GSM operator has made any move away from GPRS >> Don't rule it out. One year ago there was no standardization for the above, no CDMA SIM, and little if any prayer of interoperability with a GSM net. 1XRTT was vaporware, as was GPRS. In addition GPRS handsets were to be on the shelf for this upcoming holiday. GPRS was the only viable game in town. - Eric - PS: You have been AOL
