19 megabits on 3G

now I can stream it directly to my 3G phone, while waiting in line at the video store.
Wow I would actually be able to host a web site off my cell phone and be able to handle a slashdotting...
That's more than 6 megabits per G. Incredible!
Pr0n-on-the-go!!!

What exactly is a "cel" phone?
19MBps is about exactly what you need for HDTV! Now you can watch HD in all its glory on a 2 inch screen =)
Someone should let this guy know there's no such thing as +1, Inane.
Laptops? Every machine should have one of these. I want my alarm clock, when it goes off in the morning, to tell my coffee maker to make me an espresso, TV to tune into CNN, my PDA to check my e-mail and read me my appointments, and the closet door to open - all at 19 megabits!
You should write for the emmy-winning comedy, "Will and Grace"
Just think of all the high-res detail you could squint at on the two inch screen. The greatest advancement since HDTV Watchmans.

On the other hand, acronymfinder lists CEL as possibly being "civilian employment level." In context, this would mean that business phones (as opposed to super-duper black-ops slashdot-effect proof military phones) would get this nifty tech.
So, while the possibility of this not being a spelling mistake exists, it is just not likely. Of course, I might just be led to believe that by the super-duper black-ops people who want to keep the existence of their phones, and the correspondingly nifty tech, out of public knowledge. In fact, I myself might be paid off by the military chaps. So take this whole post with a grain of salt
I went cell phone shopping this weekend and saw that the sprint plans generally included 2 megabytes, and $.02 /KB after that. At this speed you would finish the standard alotment in under a second, and then be paying $2,850 per minute after that.
