A Little off topic (RE CDMA)

Tero challenged:

"Off topic. Michael - why don't you show me a quote of where I predicted the "demise" of CDMA? "

My response:

I'm a little surprised you are changing your tune regarding CDMA, but since you challenged I offer the following quotes from a 12/13/97 post on the QCOM board (Post 6368):

"Surely by now even the most stalwart CDMA proponents realize that Europe will forever remain free of QCOM's clutches: the third generation standard will be decided next month and that standard will be compatible with GSM and adopted by all Western European countries, this has already been agreed upon. "

and,

"The weakness that a new technology faces in the time of depression is obvious: experimental systems are the first to get the axe when infrastructure spending has to be cut. Many of the Asian countries already have an expansive GSM network: if they start cutting back on telecom spending it will be cheaper to stop CDMA introduction than phase out GSM and introduce CDMA instead. Moreover, I have seen no signs of CDMA phones catching up technologically with GSM phones."

and,

"Now that the country where majority of the CDMA subscribers in the world is diving into an economical abyss the narrow base of CDMA is coming to haunt the technology. There will be major revisions in Korean subscriber growth estimates."

Hey - you were right about the Korean revisions! There are more anti-CDMA statements in the referenced post.

I guess I stand corrected though, Tero, in this post you did not use the term "demise". Sorry.

Good Luck to All!
