As I appreciate your response, PBCCH and PCCCH optimize a network and minimize congestion. That being the case, why would a carrier want to promote handsets that do not perform these functions? Sounds like trouble for Nokia. If it is going to offer non-PBCCH and PCCCH handsets, what will it do when the carriers who are promoting these sets use the PBCCH and PCCCH functions? Recall them? Perhaps the answer to Nokia's seemingly incongrous statement that it will have lots of GPRS on the market in time for the Holiday season despite this latest snafu is that there may not be a lot of networks that actually have these more or less advanced functions operating. How else does Nokia expect to have millions of GPRS sets on the shelves in time for Xmas? Just thinking out loud here.

<The proposal to amend the 'R97' standard > Seems to be almost the same words applied to Rel4 but slightly different. see GP-011583, no changes to core network. snip Many networks have not deployed the packet control channels (PBCCH and PCCCH) and validated PCCCH test cases are not commercially available. The opportunities for mobile station manufacturers to verify their packet control channel implementation versus actual network implementations are therefore very restricted.DCCM introduces an option that allows mobile stations to be produced during an exemption period (3GPP TR 09.95) without having support for the packet control channels. - SGSN shall include the MS RAC received from the MS into all BSSGP Paging PDUs when PCCCH is allocated in the cell- BSS has to use the MS DCCM capability information received in the MS RAC in order to page the MS on correct paging channel. The supply of GPRS mobile stations from major manufacturers is delayed until the packet control channels are implemented in several networks and the MS and network implementations are fully verified. 7.1, 10.3.1, 10.3.2 X Other core specifications z 3GPP TS 03.64, 04.08, 04.60, 05.02, 05.08, 09.95 snip added text is snip - MS Radio Access Capability. The MS Radio Access Capability IE shall be included when a PCCCH is allocated in the cell. The BSS shall use the MS PCCCH Capability information received in MS RAC IE to page the MS on the appropriate paging channel. The MS shall be paged on the PCCCH if the MS indicates the PCCCH capability, otherwise it shall be paged on the CCCH. If the BSS does not receive the MS RAC IE or does not have valid MS RAC IE, the BSS may page the MS on both CCCH and PCCCH; snip What does any of this mean to EDGE?
