EDGE is only a matter of narrow band operators needing to compete with those with wide band WCDMA licenses. That is, EDGE is is inevitable. Tropian have one thing right, it is only a question of RF technology in base stations. However, they got one thing wrong, that Nokia has pointed out, that dynamic, adaptive power and cellular(sic,fart), mobile(shxt) system capabilities will ease those demands on the linearity, etc of base station RF parts. Handsets are a piece of cake anyway, as long as few need to transmit steaming videos while going full speed along the autobahn. (I understand the sexual stimulus of that, but my guess is that the paying audience is fairly scarce, and have no way of detecting a real realtime video from a premade thing, just like the doctor in cannes) Similar steaming demands on trains, regular finnish or japanese bullet ones, can be taken care of by regular hierarchical systems, even WLAN and bluetooth. Ilmarinen Still believing that regular human-to-human touch is sexier than moving pictures in the privacy of ones home, car or train, handsfree or not, illegal or not in NY. Btw, New York named after york named after jorvik and jorvas just outside helsinki. (that's where you go if you mess up with above aspects of life)

<technology enablers for EDGE, seems to be Tropian> One the key players in Tropian is John Brewer. See his web site www.vincio.com and in particular his slide presentation vincio.com See slide nine for the footprint of EDGE. Also, the 3GPP site has some release 4 and release 5 documents. See ftp://ftp.3gpp.org/Specs/2001-06/ Most of the folders are empty but the documents that do exist cover GSM, and EDGE. Also High Speed Circuit Switched Data [(HSCSD) Stage 1(Release 2000)]is covered. Does this mean that WCDMA is fading away and 3G will evolve into GSM, EDGE and HSCSD? -- In the old days, a person would telnet into a site, do a few LS -ALs and CDs and then FTP the night away. Now best to just drag the files or perhaps a high level folder to a place on a local hard disk and then find something else to do for a few hours. Much faster to root around a local drive .
