Re : "Maybe in specific areas like at airport gates," he said, "where a lot of people need to get on just before the plane takes off. In situations like this, the cellular technologies don't scale very well. The radio resources of the cell network are constrained. For example, if 15 people make calls from the exact same spot, do they all get on? No. Has this person ever heard that wireless data is packet based ? (Ummm ... DUH !) I do not think that 15 people will (often) all "do" voice calls simultaneously. But, 15 people may often be looking at their computers (or PDAs), using packet based capacity of the the cell carrier's slice of spectrum. Jon.
