Qualcomm Suspends EV-DV Development
Kind of sad
EV-DV killed by DO
The real story here is that operators want a full IP network and an air interface with low latency to do VoIP.
The other story is the fact that Qualcomm has reduced the latency on EV-DO enough so people think VoIP over EV-DO might be doable in the not so distant future.
I beleive latency on the latest EV-DO release (the one sprint will deploy) is sub 100 ms. That is huge compared to the 300 to 500 ms it is with 1xrtt and its going to get better.
i cant wait for Wimax and Flarion (ofdm) though. thats going to be fun.
