I don't think I even hinted that the physical delivery of data would be slowed down Then we are on the same page<g> As a matter of fact to slow down the speed will screw the whole system. If your users are promised 300kbs average I don't think any carrier wanna do that, so they will lower the bar as low as possible until it endanger the customer take up. However on the other hand since you can actually get much higher speed than you are promised to, it will be good for the long run. If you take a look at Verizon's note about its express network you will notice the warning there about the variable speed you may get depending on the radio environment.

Promises, promises. I should mention "Current Price Is..." aka "Cat's Eyes" aka "WackyWireless" here to avoid slowing users' expectations to a crawl. <... For a "Flat Rate Data Provider", you want to be able to support as many MDR users as possible without needing additional EV-DO carriers! If your users are promised 300kbs average. Then you would have to deploy additional EV-DO carriers sooner than a operator only promising 60-80kbs to the same number of users. This is important in markets where a carrier may only have 10Mhz of spectrum to deploy both voice and data services.> Mq
