Well organized writing

Confused about the new GSM oriented technologies?: GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, and HSDPA? So am I. But Peter Rysavy of Rysavy Research (external link) does an excellent job in this paper of explaining them (external link). Well worth a read. An industry paper, it promotes GSM services too much, overstates data transfer rates, and promises developments sooner than they'll occur. Still, that's expected, every industry group, in this case 3G Americas (external link), tries to push their solutions. In fairness, Rysavy does mention the CDMA 2000 variants, as well as WiFi and WIMAX. Contact me if the link to the paper dies, I have archived a copy.
