Keith,
<< If my statements are "bull", perhaps you can tell me why Bellsouth and Nextel are publicly stating they may convert their networks to 1X HDR over the next 3 years. >>
To the best of my knowledge, no representative of BellSouth or Nextel has publicly stated "they may convert their networks to 1X HDR over the next 3 years."
<< Find the link yourself. >>
Perhaps you could do your threadmates the courtesy of providing such a specific link, since you insist that ("Bellsouth and Nextel are publicly stating"), something that no one else that I know of, has seen a public statement of.
All roads seem to continue to lead back to the infamous Lynette on this one:
internettelephony.com
In re Nextel, Lynette tells us:
"The carrier has told Wall Street analysts that it is studying 1X technology in addition to enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE) technology. Nextel did not return phone calls seeking comment."
And in re BellSouth she has several twists on this statement:
"BellSouth is very heavily leaning toward CDMA as an overlay eventually in all of its markets over the course of a three-year period," said a source familiar with plans.
Now we have Lynette's latest on AWE going GSM (November 13) here:
internettelephony.com
and here:
internettelephony.com
Lynette's famous "sources close to the carrier" are prevalent in these articles as they were in her BellSouth, Nextel, pieces.
After a careful read, I would be most hesitant to translate this into "AT&T Wireless is publicly stating they may convert their networks to GSM", wouldn't you?
Lynette's on a roll. Maybe she'll strike pay dirt one of these days? It is always fun to reread her "AT&T Explores 1XRTT Technology" article from last year for contrast:
cdg.org
Perhaps you can cite some specific statement that backs up your claim that "Bellsouth and Nextel are publicly stating they may convert their networks to 1X HDR over the next 3 years." rather than asking others to find their own link.
Until you do, or someone else provides one, the term "bull" is potentially appropriate.
