Also I vote to keep GSM around for voice. What less would I do with my backup phones once GSM dies? :'(]]>May 20th 2009 2:52PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/20/t-mobile-orange-bring-up-the-obvious-concerns-over-lte/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/20/t-mobile-orange-bring-up-the-obvious-concerns-over-lte/May 22nd 2009 11:28AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/20/t-mobile-orange-bring-up-the-obvious-concerns-over-lte/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/20/t-mobile-orange-bring-up-the-obvious-concerns-over-lte/May 20th 2009 3:08PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/20/t-mobile-orange-bring-up-the-obvious-concerns-over-lte/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/20/t-mobile-orange-bring-up-the-obvious-concerns-over-lte/May 20th 2009 5:24PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/20/t-mobile-orange-bring-up-the-obvious-concerns-over-lte/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/20/t-mobile-orange-bring-up-the-obvious-concerns-over-lte/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Multimedia_Subsystem

I have absolutely no clue why anyone would claim voice over LTE doesn't have a bona-fide ETSI standard.]]>May 20th 2009 10:20PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/20/t-mobile-orange-bring-up-the-obvious-concerns-over-lte/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/20/t-mobile-orange-bring-up-the-obvious-concerns-over-lte/May 20th 2009 3:23PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/20/t-mobile-orange-bring-up-the-obvious-concerns-over-lte/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/05/20/t-mobile-orange-bring-up-the-obvious-concerns-over-lte/

So my question is.... With LTE, why did it take till NOW, for anyone to think "hmm, how will we all agree on one standard for Voice roaming, or routing calls over data?"

I mean, what kinda freaking morons are running the LTE shows at companies, and instead of hating each other for being "the largest carrier in *insert country here*" why not actually work together and share the wealth of knowledge and re-establish themselves as something great. Capitalism sucks...

Anyway - I just really wanted to state that some companies are experimenting with it, but most have totally forgot what it takes to make a network still run. I mean, GSM is about on its last leg in most countries except North America, and CDMA is still going strong as well, but how much longer can both actually go..most importantly how much longer can the public go with having batteries that are constantly drained because a network operator insists on having CDMA/WiMAX/LTE, or GSM/LTE radios in their phones connected to both at the same time? We seen what happens with customers on the iPhone in America HATING the battery life and coverage, so lets be frank for a moment....
