re: EDGE will happen ========== An amusing article. "History has shown that technology takes a long time to roll out. O2 announced GPRS in the summer of 2000 and started trials in November 2000."

Vendors take the political document to the field - realize it doesn't work - and return with proposed corrections. Again and again.
