WOW! This from a real company...sounds exciting! What speed does Metricom offer? "During the year, Sprint PCS also continued its migration to third-generation (3G) wireless technology – the first phase of which will be implemented this year and completed in 2002 at a fraction of the cost some competitors will be required to spend for a similar upgrade. In the first phase of 3G, network data speeds will be increased 10-fold from 14.4 Kpbs up to 144 Kpbs and voice capacity will be doubled. The high speed packet data capabilities offered by 3G technology will further position Sprint PCS as the leader in the mobile wireless Internet arena, leveraging its pioneering Wireless Web products and services." www3.sprint.com
