I'll buy you a bottle of Finlandia when I visit the States next time. You need to renegotiate contractual obligations in advance in the future. Unless you want to see one very sick Slacker....I would avoid buying me the vodka. A couple of bad experiences....that I dont completely recall <g>. However, a good gin is always appreciated.

Re: GPRS >> BT Cellnet Works With Netverk on Faster GPRS Mobile Computing London November 29, 2000 BT Cellnet, one of the UK's four wireless carriers, has teamed with Netverk to develop its range of general packet radio service (GPRS) facilities, aiming to speed up the network's current service. Netverk said that GPRS can run at speeds up to five times faster than the current 9,600 bits per second (bps) seen on GSM/PCS wireless networks. BT Cellnet plans to incorporate some of Netverk's products into its own portfolio of GPRS packages available for subscribers. One of the first products to be adapted for BT Cellnet usage will be the Netverk FoneStar, a network transparent application which speeds up data transmission over wireless communication systems by up to six times. Fonestar also enables mobile e-mail and messaging capabilities, which support MS-Exchange, POP3, IMAP4 and Web applications. Netverk said that while there has been a lot of industry discussion and debate about potentially disappointing lower than expected rates of data speed over GPRS and 3G networks, this has potentially held back its take-up by both companies and end users. However, by incorporating its systems, which optimize wireless network bandwidth and effectively defeat network latency, Netverk said that mobile operators would be in a better position to promise the expected high speeds over GPRS and 3G to their end users. Colin Scaife, Netverk's senior vice president, said BT Cellnet and Netverk will work to ensure that high data transmission speeds for subscribers over GPRS will soon be a reality. << - Eric -
