Thanks Kent-- but this amorphous stuff is too thin even for a dullard like myself to get hold of : <<2001/2 - Typical single user throughput is likely to be 56 kbps. New GPRS specific applications, higher bitrates, greater network capacities.... 2002 - Typical single user throughput is likely to be 112 kbps. GPRS Phase 2/ EDGE begins to emerge in practice >> Are they talking about smart antennae, many more cells, or implementing pieces of "EDGE"? The last is particularly questionable, especially regarding expense of deployment. Without the 112kbps, there is a weak comparison against 1xRTT not to mention EV. I recall finding on the Ericsson website a year or so ago a statement that ATT had fully financed their development effort in EDGE. Amazing if true, given the early stage asphyxiation and culling of that technology we seem to be witnessing in the long drive to an eventual one-phone capability.
