The problem with going by radio utilization is that it is mostly a function of S/N rather than what the user is actually doing. The same radio might easily have 4X the bandwidth in an urban setting than it would in a rural setting thanks to the much smaller cell radius. Anyway, backhaul is just as much a scarce/costly resource as radio bandwidth and how much of that is used is totally a function of what the users are doing.

I always chuckle when I read comments about the technical feasibility of using VOIP on this or that carrier network. Sure, it’s possible and even done on various phones with OSes they can’t control, but they’ll lock down all the mass market phones and use the political stall tactic of talking about doing VOIP feasibility studies for as long as possible.

Open application stores?! Sure, if open means getting Handset manufacturer and carrier approval beforehand.

3G, while faster than anything we’ve seen yet in the mobile space is still pretty dang slow in most service areas (especially on the move) and VOIP is fairly bandwidth intensive.

It’s likely that t-mobile doesn’t want to flood their support centers with calls about poor QoS with a bandwidth heavy protocol on a network akin to DSL at its fastest.
