Very predictable response, Clark. I use a link that introduces a layman gently to many areas of extreme complexity in communications and networking that are going to be profitable over the next decade and you respond with "consider the source?" LOL. Back at you, dude. What is beyond any spin control is the global sales of GSM and CDMA on a daily basis and how manufacturers are reorienting their strategies. Check out the South Koreans. I'm assuming that everybody here knows that the national government mandated the use of CDMA in 1994 and that is why South Korea is the largest CDMA market and most likely one of the first to implement HDR. korealink.co.kr No doubt, nurturing export is a desirable way to utilize existing production lines which Korean firms set up with huge initial investment. But the CDMA handset market is limited in terms of size and user demand compared with GSM phones. koreaherald.co.kr GSM mobile phones accounted for 70 percent of the global market last year, in which 250 million phones were sold. "Leading Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics will produce only 23 million phones this year, compared with 85 million by global leader Nokia and 70 million by Motorola," said an industry official. "Domestic firms cannot but turn their eyes to the GSM terminal market in order to compete with foreign firms through economy of scale." Instead of looking for another excuse to argue about TDMA vs CDMA, you might be better off trying to find out if the almighty CDMA can alleviate the Fed's growing concern regarding imports and the overuse of margin in the stock market by individual investors. The hot air alone flowing from the enthusiasm with a technology built over spread spectrum foundations should be a good starting point;-) No response required. Who has time for nonsense like this?
