Interesting article.
I have seen more and more microwave dish antennas on cell towers lately. Wonder if they are being used for microwave back-haul between towers. |

Sounds like more whining from the cell carriers. Just more self pity to justify the ridiculous practices they implement such as charging more for PDAs and MMS.

What in the article lends any hint to whining from the cell carriers? Do you have any insight of how cell sites are provisioned? the services/traffic they carry now? projected traffic growth?

| Qwest & ATM
I know this is slightly offsubject, but the reference to ATM made me think of this. At least in the Phoenix metro area Qwest is provisioning residential DSL with PPPoA (PPP over ATM). I never understand why they did so in the first place. I wonder how long it will take them to switch over to ethernet? |

Re: oh boo hoo
Heaven forbid a company bulding out infrastructure and having to charge customers more to pay for it.
Next you'll whine that Amtrak has to raise rates to stay in business. Or the city raises bus rates to buy new busses to replace old ones.

I hope they don't forget to keep voice traffic prioritized over the data traffic though. Voice is still their bread and butter income and they can't afford to have the quality of voice calls be affected by more data traffic. {sarcasm}Oh wait!! - isn't that a two tier internet? Now all the "Network Neutrality" police will be pissed at the cell phone companies.{/sarcasm}

Re: Good!
Yeah right, replace circuit switched guaranteed transmissions with "best effort" packet switching. I'm sure corporations love not because its a improvement for consumers but for their bottom line. Corporations know consumers will take anything they are given, not like they have a choice, except not to have the service at all. |

Re: HSDPA
It's not wrong. It's also known as HSPA by equipment vendors. Sony/Ericsson uses HSPA and HSDPA interchangably.
