i don&#39;t have hard evidence to back up this but GSM was designed for speech, not data  (<a href="http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~lewis/teaching/Tik-111.htm">http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~lewis/teaching/Tik-111.htm</a>) maybe LTE is meant to solve this (with a dedicated data channel). <div>

<br></div><div>if technology permits, i can&#39;t get my head around why and how AT&amp;T would drop data transmission to a device. see? there is a bottleneck between a Gigabit fiber link and a mobile device, unless you are saying they can&#39;t purchase the bandwidth (??).</div>

<p>The technology exists. No limitations there. My question is why haven&#39;t the giants ventured into telecoms? Is there a need for this?  </p><div class="im">
