So, is GSM to remain the standard for SMS communication?

Probably not. The world requires more and more Internet functionality from their mobile devices. And GSM, in all its complexity, is having a hard time keeping up. GSM was never designed to service text information, let alone large amounts of text such that the wireless Internet would provide. Using GSM for anything more than SMS would become a slow and cumbersome method. With that said, it seems that GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is being touted as the new best thing. GPRS would allow the sending of Internet information through mobile devices at a high speed. Experts believe that GPRS will be capable of delivering information at a speed of up to 100,000 bits per second. Currently, GSM can deliver information at a speed of 9,600 bits per second.
