Hi Tom/ Frank- You’re right I do have a different definition of “next generation” than AWE does. Simply put, 2G to 3G and not 2G to 2.5G (networks). Next ½ generation would be an appropriate definition of GPRS IMO. I really don’t know who is reading the AWE PRs. The point is that AWE must think these PRs serve an important purpose and an important enough audience that they are willing to risk being accused of purposefully distributing disinformation in order to reach that audience. Perhaps they are trying to reach the unknowing journalistic/ media types in order to provide them with fodder to further peddle their FUF/FUDD to the masses. I like this quote I read sometime back posted on SI Mod- Message 18020545 “A Hutchison source said: 'Our competitors have a huge investment in ''2.5G technology'' [the halfway house between true 3G , which allows real multimedia services, and current phones]. 'They don't want to tell their customers their new GPRS phones will be obsolete almost as soon as they buy them.'
