If I were running a company like AOL, I would try to incorporate the best technology, not necessarily the technology that's available now. I would be working closely with companies like QUALCOMM to see how wireless technology might fill my needs better.

How do we know they're not? AOL has made no secret of their intent to promote the "AOL Anywhere" concept, for which wireless becomes an important component. AOL is not wed to any technology, but it traditionally tried to establish a presence wherever and whenever it sees the potential for mass appeal. So they are rarely the first mover as far as the public is concerned, but by the time the public is ready to adopt an innovation, AOL is there. That means they have laid a lot of groundwork before the adoption stage. I suspect they must be looking very closely at CDMA as a key technology in their AOL Anywhere concept.
