I have found out in the first activity that networks, using the GPRS tech would only charge you for what you download/pages sizes while browsing the internet and not how long you spend.I am not too sure why this is the case.
My other question is why, it is such a problem sharing frequecy avaliable on the radio spectrum, given that there is roughly billionhertz frequency avaliable. Which i think is alot.
Jonathan replies: Two good points. As you point out GPRS is charged by data transfer and not by time. If you were to use Skype over GPRS then it could be cheaper than your normal call charges. At the moment however, the data charges are very high (up to £1.22 per MByte).
There is a huge problem sharing frequencies because individual services do not occupy a single slot but leak over into many adjacent slots.
