LWIN use of spectrum. <<Can someone refresh me on the spectrum use by the likes of Sprint, PrimeCo,Verizon, etc.? I seem to recall Sprint, as an example, of having 15 MHz of spectrum in most cities, and they were using only a fraction of this(5 MHz?). Nextwave had 30 MHz in their license areas. Is this not sufficient capacity to deploy all the voice and data one would need in the foreseeable future, especially with the dramatic efficiency gains coming with 1XEV/HDR? >> Nuts. Upon reading your question, I realized I had left out a significant item in relating the statement by an analyst a few posts ago. He said LWIN could handle that large a portion of a population in 10mhz of spectrum. LWIN only has 10mhz under license in quite a few cities where they picked up F block licenses. However, they do have more and even up to 30 mhz in some places where they have bought old C block licenses. LWIN is still in the business of acquiring licenses in about 75 midsized cities across the US of which they are up to nearly 50 now. The quote from Viterbi and my growing admiration for Harvey White make me more appreciative of the depth of QCOM management. I sometimes wonder if Dr. Jacobs might not be more accurately thought of as an articulate and diplomatic spokesman for QCOM than as the creative genious for the technology. My clear impression is that Dr. Viterbi was the actual heavy pusher of HDR and was able to convince the others of HDR's strategic value. regards, Lance
