Re: Good Speeds.

ummmm... what will you need these speeds for on a little cell phone? Watching LOTR on that mini screen? I think 128k is overkill for cell phones. Whose gonna need the speed of these networks? It's a case of: they'll come if we build it.

If you plug your cell phone into your laptop you can use it as a modem.

If your cell phone can play music you can stream it off the internet.

If your phone can take pictures you can send them over the internet.

128kbps would be marginal for any of those purposes.

BTW I don't need to do any of those things, but automatically pooh-poohing the usefulness is short sighted IMO.
