The information that I could find on the web about Sprint's new '3G' high-speed data service was a little short on solid information, so I spoke with Kevin Packingham, Senior Manager of Business Marketing for SprintPCS' new Vision service. I sought him out because Ubiquitous, affordable high speed wireless data services are something of a holy grail for tech-savvy road warriors like myself, so I received each morsel of information about Sprint's new service with great interest. Mr. Packingham spoke over the phone and he clarified many of the questions that I had about the new service.

CDMA2000 is being offered by Verizon out this way. It claims to have 144Kbps speed which is a little slower, and like 2.5G its speed drops when moving, but as far as always on internet access it's here.
I really like the idea of being able to stream DVD quality audio and video off my phone to a television. It isn't here yet, but in another year the bandwidth on these sort of mobile devices will go up and the codecs will get the data size down such that it will be possible. The reason why I like that example so much is that if you can stream a DVD then you can certainly check your email, browse the web, instant chat with your friends, or use pretty much any other client side application on the Internet today.
