I think a bigger issue is VPN. These may not be the specific protocols, but consider running IMAP and LDAP over a VPN (TCP or UDP). For Internet mail, I use a combination of POP (at least right now) and IMAP without using LDAP. But I do need to be able to connect to Exchange, and I'm guessing it has performance characteristics similar to IMAP + LDAP. Other typical usage scenarios (not over VPN) include FTP uploads and downloads, web browsing, and occasional HTTP downloads in the 100 MB to 1 GB range. Finally, good multimedia support (e.g., streaming audio/video) is a plus.

If you are talking about netwoking for CPRS, then latency is the big
issue, far outweighing bandwidth issues.  CPRS chatters back and forth
to the server, so latency times are multiplied many times over,
leading to sluggish responce.
