When and if you find the answer to that you will be headed in the right direction.

LOL. Do you think this mutant grasshopper called Molly will ever get it, Jim. I'm really curious if the heuristic -- or the act of assisting discovery -- will work with Molly whose idea of due diligence consists of making other people dig for facts while he stubbornly insists that QCOM -- the O-N-L-Y player in current generation 2G CDMA -- is the logical center of the next generation 3G CDMA universe.

How hard is it anyway to piece together the easily verifiable facts that show that there may be about 7 or 8 sources of complete, standalone 3G CDMA technology -- QCOM, Motorola, Lucent, ATT, IDC, Golden Bridge, Ericsson and Nokia -- derived from at least two competing approaches:

a) Narrowband - Jacobs/Viterbi/Gilhousen, et al (1969 Linkabit/QCOM)
b) Broadband - Schilling/Clomp/Paneth et al (1960 IMM/SCS/IDC/Golden Bridge)

The amusing thing to watch is how persistently Bux and Molly mindlessly parrot the posturing QCOM PR line that the best 2G CDMA technology should be the basis for the best 3G CDMA technology -- even the 85% of the market earned the hard way by the big 5!! -- for which the best 3G CDMA technology is naturally the one that is congruent with 2G TDMA/GSM....and..... is supported by a global consensus that will make 4G holistic wireless possible. Holism refers to the theory that certain wholes are greater than the sum of the parts.
