	Currently, for the US (Europe is better off, by how much better
off, I don't know) this is probably correct.  However, 2-4 years down the
road, "3rd Generation" cellular will provide 2-3Mbs to the phone.  The
primary reason for all of this is that they are switching to a packet
switching technology from a circuit switching technology, IIRC.
	Now, if it supports wireless DSL, it would be a different story.
