So I was netsurfing and came across CellularOne's home page. So I thought I'd do a little investigative work...this is the same company which advertises that your digital phone conversation is private even in a crowded restaurant! Here's what its WWW server had to say:
The Difference Digital Makes
Cellular phones play an indispensable role in everyday life in the 1990s. But
what exactly does digital technology bring to the table?
Static meets its match. Since digital transmission only recognizes and converts >variations in the human voice, static is virtually eliminated. Voices come >through loud and clear. Background noise isn't just reduced, it's virtually >eliminated. So is cross-talk.
Capacity three times. Ultimately, digital technology will triple the size of
the cellular phone information highway. So as we convert, more room will be freed up for more of your important calls. Resulting in more calls going through faster. On the first try. And fewer calls being dropped.
Pssst, what about privacy? Again, since your voice is digitally processed, it's >less likely that anyone could eavesdrop on your conversations. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
?Como?
