3 hrs confidence:
sheer size Explanation: This looks like non-technical language referring to the vast amount (or diversity) of the content, so a non-technical translation would fit best, I think. Something like: What stands out is the sheer size of the Blackberry service offer. 'size', 'volume', or even 'enormity' - or perhaps 'diversity' |

peer agreement (net): +1overdimensioning Explanation: This is a valid term. See: http://www.telecom.lth.se/ndg/research/publications/Theses/N... Search in the text for overdimensioning. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2007-04-13 15:58:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Overdimensioning and dimensioning are telecommunications terms. They also are used in other contexts, but context of this question (which deals with BlackBerry service) is definitely telecommunications. |
