Eric. Mr. Rysavy seems to emphasize GPRS and WAP. I thought that WAP has not been well accepted and was being bypassed.

Amazing. Never thought you'd disparage GPRS. Sound almost like a Qultist. Good to see you out of the Dark Side. Incredible that the Cabal pushed GPRS, touting its speed, etc., and now that the truth is out, EDGE (LOL!) is the next touted thing. C'mon, admit it, the Cabalistas would have been better off using Q's 3G migration path.

Any bandwidth is limited, although slightly differently depending on if closer to 400MHz than 3-4GHz. "behind" and "below" *or (above) all this modulation gobble-gobble sits the frequency band guys and those who decides on what modulation to use on what band, new or old, lower or higher. And once again, GSM and GPRS does not use linear RF-parts, same as deep space satellites, as that saves battery. CDMA and EDGE use linear RF parts (except that QCDMA which Q could not deployed in Europe because it didn't have those filters limiting the sidebands), one reason that there is already almost enough masts close by, not like satellites in outer space, the other that RF technology is improving, handsets do not need to be as expensive as satellites. From this point of view one can say - old bands reserved for satellite modulations, nonlinear, battery saving RF parts. - new bands reserved for linear, battery wasting RF parts. as well as - old (nonlinear) bands built the base of mast grids needed for new (linear) bands - old (nonlienar) bands can then be updated to the new (linear) bands (EDGE) Additionally this process started from old, lower bands and continues to new, higher bands as the coverage also decreases with higher center frequencies. The question on GSM/EDGE/WCDMA is minor compared to this, the battery power and mast density needed plus how higher carrier frequencies behave cmprd to lower ones. Ilmarinen One reason Nokia is in both EDGE, WCDMA and WLAN, but from the point of view the bands from 400MHz through 1-2GHz up to 3GHz, the specific modulation used is not that important.
