This Standards Requirements Document (SRD) outlines the key <Operator requirements for the evolution of the CDMA2000 1X (IMT-2000 MC 1X) standard. This SRD refers to this evolution as 1xEV. These requirements are defined to drive improvements to the fundamental packet data capabilities and efficiencies of CDMA2000 1X systems to better meet the rapidly evolving needs of subscribers. This document is intended to enable Wireless Operators an evolution beyond CDMA2000 1X, providing for increased spectral efficiency and capability to cost effectively satisfy customer demand for wireless Internet applications.> CDMA2000 1xRTT is the first 3G standard. I don't know if there is a line which specifically states that all revisions beyond 1x can to be categorized as 1xEV. Call it my poetic license. The upgrades from 1xRTT to Rev. 1 or Phase 1 for very high speed data are additional steps away from 1xRTT to incrementally higher data speeds. 1xEV DO breaks away on a sperate carrier at 2.4 MBPS. 1xEV DV takes the original data voice carrier to 4.8 MBS. I expect that we will see 1xEV DO upgrades well beyond that measure. The acronyms don't matter. CDMA2000 is an evolutionary standard. If Slacker thinks he is smarter than all the people at Qualcomm, Sprint, Verizon, and Bell Canada rolling out the business models for 3G, he is free to call them a bunch of dumb asses. I would expect if he was smarter, he would not be spending his whole day trash talking.

I can't do any better than this. <The 1xEV standard shall incorporate all aspects of and be an extension of the existing CDMA2000 1x features, functions, applications, and services specified in the release A (and future Release B) standards. More specifically, the Phase 1 1xEV standard shall support all of the packet data capabilities and none of the real-time voice capabilities of CDMA2000 1x. The Phase 2 1xEV standard, however, shall maintain all of the voice and packet data capabilities of CDMA2000 1x and Phase 1 1xEV. Any changes made to CDMA2000 1x system specifications shall be incorporated into the 1xEV standards.> BTW, phase 1 goes to 1.25 MBPS for peak data (indoors). This is certainly competes on par with DSL = 1.6 MBS. Again, DSL is costing people $40 a month for internet that sits on their desktop at home. It covers about 7% of all internet subscribers today. As 1xEV introduces high speed data approaching DSL speeds by next year, they will be able to take their always on connections with them. If users would be free to use unlimited browser access with their USB port connection, that would be a great benefit for Bell Mobility customers paying $5 a month for browser fees. I think that would be more than enough to attract the kind of popularity for 1xEV in the US (the evolving group of 1x standards) to instantly reach i-mode popularity.
