Re:W* Effect Considered Harmful (Score 1)

Thanks a lot - now I understand your point and I agree on this argument. I see the much bigger advantage of GPRS is that your are online all the time. It is like using a normal modem compared to a cable modem, much quicker, always on, no boring waiting until having a connection, which breaks after a while anyway. This is more important in my opinion. 9600 baud is enough for text oriented content on cell phones, but waiting for dialup is worst.
And, after all, I disagree that people want to have all the content of the WWW on their cell phones. Check out http://www.cnn.com/2000/TECH/computing/07/07/wild. wap.idg/index.html
