Hello Engineer,

I have questions regarding certain issues that perhaps you can help me on.

1) Re HDR, an MSNBC article stated that implementation of HDR by a wireless provider would come at the expense of voice-only customer capacity for that provider. This implies CDMA frequencies are licensed by the FCC a la TDMA or other radio spectrum licenses, and therefore total bandwith (throughput) is finite in capacity for a given provider. Is this the case? I was under the impression CDMA used low power, unregulated frequency that were essentially there for the taking by whoever put up the appropriate infrastructure.

2) Assuming (never for one second forgetting the consequences of assuming....) MSNBC is correct, how many voice customers are equivalent to a 2MB/sec HDR signal in the frequency space.

3) Re Cisco's stationary wireless technology, Vofdm, does this tech. use CDMA licenses from Qualcomm in its design?

Many, many, many thanks.
