Still think Armstrong is on the right track? AT&T has lost its unique franchise and buying cable is going in the wrong direction. AT&T still believes in SDMA even though the rest of the world is rapidly converting to the higher standard CDMA. Sprint PCS recently announced the closing of its SDMA wireless service in Washington DC and the plan to instal a CDMA network. PCS said they will try to sell the older equipment that is unreliable in comparison with Q* owned CDMA. PCS is probably talking with Armstrong right now.

DALLAS, June 15 /PRNewswire/ - In a significant step toward realization of next
generation wireless networks, AirTouch Communications (NYSE: ATI - news) and
Nortel Networks (NYSE/TSE: NT) have demonstrated wireless voice and data calls
over a packet network based on Internet Protocol (IP).

The calls were originated from the Nortel Networks' Wireless Internet Lab in
Richardson, Texas using cdmaOne wireless handsets, and routed using IP over a packet
backbone network connected to the public switched network for termination at the
headquarters of AirTouch Communications in San Francisco.

''We've shown that using an IP core network for wireless voice and data services is
more than just chartware,'' said Matt Desch, president, Wireless Solutions, Nortel
Networks. ''It's real. It works. We can demonstrate Internet access and services from a
standard, unmodified wireless phone. And we can support telephony over the same
network with no degradation in voice quality.''
