Overall quality

Let's be honest here: This is a lower-end article for the Telecommunications project.

It needs an overhaul. Let's go through this paragraph by paragraph:

The initial definition isn't correct (the transmission power says nothing about burstiness. Anyway, what would "relative high power" even mean? Relative to what?)
"Can be intentional..." redundant to the first paragraph, more unfounded claims (it's still a burst if the data rate is low.)
The "Data Burst" / "Info Burst" TV thing is something that should be on a separate page, maybe behind a disambiguation page.
"..can occur naturally": this might be the paragraph worth salvaging

"See also: Spread Spectrum" Um, no, that is more or less unrelated here.
"This article incorporates public domain material from the General Services Administration document: "Federal Standard 1037C". (in support of MIL-STD-188)": it does not contain the "burst" definition from there (which would be sensible to adapt, but wasn't done). Instead, it uses an obsolete hand-wavy definition that might well be from the manual of some 1970's field radio rather than a sensible general statement.

Categories:

Automatic identification and data capture: Um, why?
Radio-frequency identification: Completely unrelated?
Telecommunications stubs: Fully agree

I honestly don't know what I'd do with this article. I'm leaning towards deleting all the content and replacing it with with the definition of "burst" from MIL-STD-188:

A burst, in data communications, a sequence of signals, noise, or interference counted as a unit in accordance with some specific criterion or measure.

Stating "a burst transmission is the transmission of a burst" doesn't really qualify as encyclopedic content, so maybe we should just start a better "Burst" article and delete this one?
