Hi

Well GSM can do both Data and Voice at the same time, but its not the same as VoIP because when you use VoIP you can switch from CDMA to GSM to WiFi to WiMax then to CDMA without losing that call.

Why? Because its all data. Skype would be great for the U.S market, it would be great for the world market. T-Mobile has been working on away to have a GSM/WiFi Service so you can get better service at home.

HSDPA is not a bad network, nor is it slow at (2.1 Mbps) but its not where CDMA is at (3.1 Mbps) bit it would be sweet to have a GSM/WCDMA/HSDPA/EVDO handset with VoIP, but the Carriers are to blind and can't see where the market is going. Video Phone are whats next we just need to wake up and smell the coffee.

Rev (b) will be even faster.

Could it be that ISP’s are making this out to be a bigger problem than it actually is? We’re a small country with an internet penetration of less than 60%, for every Youtuber there’s someone who only uses the internet to check their emails, more people surf on their mobile handsets than a few years ago. Surely things should even themselves up.
