"where the information comes from"

Which one of your quotes, I'm sure you noticed I agreed
very much with most of them, simple basic facts of GPRS,
less with others as they were cut-and-pasted, mainly the
scope of "unlikely", the "severely limited", in terms of
what??, and the "should be checked" for something which
already has been checked and decisions made and are
made at this very moment.

Ever heard the associative word 3GSM or played
a game of chess with 490 participants???

Kent,

Re: lets compare theoreticals <g>

<< I guess you need to educate the GSM Association >>

GSMA says:

"The following text is provided by Simon Buckingham as a courtesy to our readers as a source of background information about GPRS. The views and opinions contained in the text are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views or opinions of the GSM Association"

Buck says:

"Theoretical maximum speeds of up to 171.2 kilobits per second (kbps) are achievable with GPRS using all eight timeslots at the same time. ... SPEEDS MUCH LOWER IN REALITY ... the theoretical maximum GPRS speeds should be checked against the reality of constraints in the networks and terminals. The reality is that mobile networks are always likely to have lower data transmission speeds than fixed networks ... 2002 - Typical single user throughput is likely to be 112 kbps. GPRS Phase 2/ EDGE begins to emerge in practice ."
