I have also some problems with the article. What is this complete BS about congestion with 2G? In Yurop which leads the US in mobile telephony (and where people actually know how to organize a working system with continent wide coverage and seamless roaming) the congestion is not a problem. The penetration is high, people talk like there would be no tomorrow - and how the things are going it might turn out that there isn´t - and billions of short messages are bounding about. But no, there is no serious congestion problem. No operator is talking about getting more band for 2G. Apart from those who ain´t got any. Surely there was congestion when the towers came down but hey, you can´t do network planning for such incidents. And what complete rubbish is this: "one megabyte may sound like a lot but in practice is a pittance", is "a few short news articles". Geez. I blame the inch system. That obviously creates serious confusion over there. - rajala
