    In the quest to claim which technology is better we lose the fact that the driver for technologies are customers. The quest to be always connected the increasing synergy of life and work along with bandwidth intensive applications, which are the driver of higher speeds and reduced latency no matter which technology is employed. These various technologies, GSM, CDMA, EVDO, HSPDA/UMTS will only constitute the access layer in an emerging Architecture for all communications, the first version of the IMS (http://en.wikipedia.org/...IP_Multimedia_Subsystem) standard should be completed late this year. Convergence of Fixed and Mobile networks, IP empowered endpoints, end to end QoS, along with strong applications will continue to drive the industry. USA has always tended to be different from the rest of the world this is also true with respect to the telecoms market. Today Europe and Asia are better barometers for what technologies will be adopted in the rest of the world.
