I DO have evidence of HDR field trials, I can only conclude that HDR is currently ahead of EDGE. JMO... Anyway they are in the same place no matter what.<ggg> Just like the sixers and Lakers are at the same place:-) And it is as simple as that.

Slacker, << I think I probably used the wrong word .... optimism (about EDGE's schedule) might have been more appropriate. >> LOL! "Clueless" even better word ... a few hints leaking out of AWS occasionally ... comments from some friends ... nothing I'd hang my hat on. I offered Keith I'd consider a gentleman's wager on time lapse between 1st 1 million 1xRTT subs and 1st 1 million WCDMA subs (< 2 years to his "3"). I would not touch 1xEV-DO v.GSM-EDGE "commercial availability" with a 10 foot pole. Latest: "The company is still on schedule to begin offering 2.5G services later this year. With equipment from Nokia, AT&T Wireless plans to add EDGE and UMTS to its network between 2002 and 2003." Message 15956909 Nothing new or specific in that. << W-CDMA will be rolled-out in Japan regardless of the success of EDGE. The same will have to be true for operators that have won 3G licenses but do not currently offer 2G mobile services. I believe Hutchison is in this position in a number of European countries. >> Presume you mean GPRS rather than EDGE here ... and yes, Hutchison in that position. - Eric -
