Eric L: But as yet there is no EDGE in commercial use. The joke about the TDMA-EDGE growth is that is 100% TDMA, 0% EDGE. And there may or may not be a viable EDGE. As a practical matter, how does TDMA land compete re: data in the next 2 or 3 years against 1X and 1xEV? (Or for that matter how does GSM land - with GPRS?) Increasingly it looks as if the GSM world is planning on GPRS and then a pause. EDGE seems to be losing its edge in the GSM world. Or am I misreading the tea leaves. Once again, the fun will be what happens after GPRS in GSM land. Curious if EDGE can be viable if limited to TDMA, i.e. TDMA-EDGE land while GSM land skips it - if it does. And how and in what way will Nokia prosper? What thinkest thou? Best as always. Chaz
