"These folks go on shamelessly about Q hype even though only Q consistently delivers on performance promises " Yes indeed, and as the T and the NOK continue to spout soothing words to prevent the Herd from stampeding to the new technology (*available Now*), pretty much all depends on the smooth rollout in May by NTT. What, pray tell, will pay the interest on $100 billion ++ for those licenses? Soothing words? Money talks, B.S. walks. Delays will not be forgiven by the bankers, and thus will not be forgiven by the service providers either.
I begin to see a different stroke of gamesmanship with Q! heading towards the 1Xevdv protocol. Everyone gets a single standard, the true grail of wireless. The manufacturers, the SPs, the Consumers. China gets a leg up by manufacturing early on with *available Now* technology, transferring all the expertise over to producing the single standard in several years down the road, and the wCDMA proponents suck wind (except and maybe not, NTT)because they are not in-gear producing anything. No wonder T is spitting venom; they are in fear big-time. Only the losers spit venom. Never heard Q! spit venom. Must be a winner. Disruption of not only their (GSM) technology, but as well the entire genealogical tree of monopolistic control, from manufacturer to service provider to investment houses to news media....yep, all crawled out from under the same rock. They are all spitting venom to a greater or lesser degree, and Q! continues to withhold the negativity. Bravo.... Martin Thomas |
