I read today in the Vancouver Sun that an Internet Service Provider going to
use GSM 1900 MHz to provide internet access to its customer base of 1400 as
an experiment. The radiowave link will provide between and up to 14.4k to
250KBS. With hopes to increase to 550 KBS.

The reason for this was in cost of telephone lines to rural areas and the
quality of the telephone lines to provide high speed service.

I didn't know that GSM could handle high speed data. What about CDMA? Can it
do the same?
