RE: Caos in Spain

Normally in computer technology, higher bandwidth means better quality data transmission. This isnt quite the case for wireless technology. First off higher radio frequencys nessesary for high bandwidth dont carry as far as lower long wave frequencys. Also a high amount of compression is required for even conventional digital cellular wireless. Super highspeed swithching is required in ultra high data rates in the newer ultra high bandwidth formats. Europe mostly uses GSM which I believe they are trying to make there universal standard. Here in the US we have some GSM as well as some other formats that are out there on the bleeding edge of technology. Japan has a wireless data/cell phone system called i-mode/DoCoMo, whats great about it is its able to function on low data transmission rates of convetional wireless cell phones. These PDA/cell phones use cHTML (compact HTML) which is a low bandwidth subset of regular HTML. There starting to introduce this system in germany I believe.
