Puck, GPRS is a symptom of the Euro Socialist Serf mentality. Some of us believe that the efficiencies provided by a relatively freely competing economy will bring the best economic growth and quality of life. Others think it is up to the European govts to take care of there serfs and tell them what to do. Thus the Euro's are spending their resources to purchase unnecessary new spectrum from their govts at huge prices and install an inferior GPRS technology to run on this spectrum. A strong Europe is in the best interest of the US, but alas, they are hung up, for the most part on taking the low road toward socialism-- loose a few percent of growth every year and in 50 years they will teach the story of Euro's decline at Harvard business school.

Puck, << Can anyone explain to me why there is such strong animosity toward GPRS by some? >> That is easy. Barring unforeseen events, it is projected to be the dominant deployed technology by 2005 and there is no CDMA component. All (myself included) would prefer to see CDMA deployed on a faster and broader scale than what the industry is indicating it will be. - Eric -
