But are there any GSM 850 carriers in the U.S.?? > T-Mobile hands down 'Today' is a leader in the market. > I would like to see them remain as such among the EDGE /UMTS > systems being deployed right now. Why do you say it is "hands down" leader? Last I checked AT&T/Cingular is a whole lot bigger company and also has a much more advanced high-speed network. T-Mobile is on record saying they plan no 3G network until at least 2007! > T-Mobile w/ Wi-Fi hotspots who needs the extra network > expense of UMTS equipment..hmmm something to think about. Well, maybe this is what T-Mobile is thinking since they are not laying out a 3G network at the moment. I do think there will be some merging of wifi technology and traditional cellular, though. Wimax and another technology whose name escapes me at the moment provide extremely fast speeds (faster than 802.11B and at least rivaling and perhaps exceeding 802.11G) at ranges that get close to what cell towers provide...
