[edit] EDGE stands for ...

Hi all! Why is "... GLOBAL evolution" used here as the long name for EDGE? It is ".. GSM evolution" as I have just checked in 3GPP TS 21.905-6.7.0 (2004-06), the document defining "Vocabulary for 3GPP Specifications". The "...global evolution" I have found on the 3GPP server only in some old documents dated 1999 and 2000. As I have not yet the permission to change a Lemma, can somebody else please do it. thanks --Fortythree 15:55, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I will move it to the standard name according to the GSM Association. Global Evolution is an outdated term. Cacophony July 8, 2005 20:04 (UTC)

[edit] US providers

Are there any U.S. celluar providers who are using EDGE? I see GPRS and EVDO offered by TMobile and Verizon.

Cingular currently offers EDGE in some markets. T-Mobile is in the process of rolling out EDGE. Cacophony 15:39, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] move the list?

Should we move the list to List of EDGE networks? Right now the list is longer than the article. Cacophony 19:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] edge, grps and hscsd

The beginning of the article leaves me with impression that Edge only boosts the speed of Gprs but it is possible to run Hscsd over Edge. Ltxxx 15:03, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] disorganized

To me, this article seems very poorly organised. I cannot follow it. I do not know anything on the subject else I would try to re-write some of it myself.

[edit] Upload ?

The upload capacity of EGRPS (and EHCSD) is not stated.
