russett,

Wi-Lan and OFDM have been the subject of occasional discussion among the serious Qtips, but have not generally been seen as a major threat to Qualcomm and CDMA in the near or even medium term (in the long term we might be using telepathy, who knows). Here are posts by Mqurice Winn on the subject which both exemplify and include links to some of those discussions:

As for discussion here, it's probably inappopriate because a) widespread adoption of anything resembling a discontinuous innovation threatening CDMA is years and years away, and b) this thread is focused primarily on gorilla gaming rather than technology per se, and a lengthy discussion of the relative merits of OFDM vs. CDMA would almost certainly go over the heads of and discombobulate almost everybody here.

that said, if one of those few who actually know something about such arcana wanted to sum up the state of play in this area, it might be useful, if only so that the carpetologists, policy wonks, and other technologically challenged types could get immunized against future FUD attacks...
