AT&T has had ample bandwidth for ages. RIM's solution only clogs it up more by requiring additional data paths into and out of AT&T's network. Which doesn't matter anyway, because they have plenty. Canaccord Adams is a salesman and a liar, not a network expert. AT&T doesn't want Andriod yet. Andriod is not being held back by Google. It's being held back by the lack of hardware and testing. New phones don't pop out of companies in months, they take years of work. AT&T is well known for taking things slowly most of the time. This is great for press cannon fodder, but even better for consumers that they usually get it right before getting it out the door. The iPhone is a great example. Pushed by Apple to get quick releases, it had many failures on startup. AT&T is trying to not fail like that again. You can't knock them for being safe rather than sorry.
