Re: Big Problem with "TCP over Second (2.5G) and Third (3G) ..."

cc'ing the ADs and the list.

Reiner-

I'm not sure why you consider this a big problem.  This is the type of
stuff we hope to surface during (or at least before the end of) last
call.

Nevertheless, can you confirm that this is an issue of fact rather
than one of, say, "creative interpretation" or just plain marketing?
We might need different wordsmithing than the text you provide if, for
example, it is widely understood in the industry that EDGE is a 2.5g
technology but the standard has the hooks to extend it into 3g.
