2.5G Networks Expand at Low Speed
High-speed wireless data services, and the clients outfitted to consume them, are subject to a sort of networklike interdependence. The value and success of each depends on the success of the other.
Complicating matters further is that we have multiple vendors building different types of clients to operate on different types of networks built out by multiple carriers, as is the case with services based on GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) and CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) 2000 technology.
The resulting chicken-and-egg scenario has retarded the spread of so-called 2.5G networks (which fall short of speeds promised from third-generation networks) and that of their clients, with companies on either side of the equation waiting for the other to make its move.
