Thanks wirelesswonk....That was a great analysis. One comment....

Once that question is answered one of course wants to get the highest bps/hz efficiency but that desire is counterbalanced by the prospective application, how much one can charge for it the application and the initial and long run incremental cost to deploy a wireless network to service that application.

I dont think that HDR does well in a bits/hertz analysis, however the emphasis by Qualcomm's management was on the low capital costs that would be involved in rolling out HDR. PCS will probably roll-out 1xrtt sometime late next year. This will effectively double voice capacity. At this point, they may have a great deal of unused spectrum....HDR may be a cost effective way to utilize this resource.

Hopefully more details will be forthcoming tomorrow (HDR demo by Qualcomm).
