Eric, about Tero's part II.
I have a few questions that maybe you can answer or ask Tero to answer.
Korea's 1xRTT implementation has had its share of problems -- most of them carefully hidden from the Western news media.
First could Tero tell us exactly what the problems were, especially how they were hidden from the west? Well one thing I have to agree is that Korea was almost totally hidden from the west, but it's exactly the contrary. For very long period of time all we heard were how the Koreans were turning their back away from CDMA, how they were defecting into WCDMA, there were very few news take up about CDMA2000 in Korea and its success. There's no doubt in my mind there are this bias and arrogant thing in the west media. Go ask Tero how the Euros open their eyes to what is going on in Korea. And I bet there will be quite some rolling their eyes and say who cares what's going on in Korea.

Well, although it has nothing to do with the wireless or what so ever, above colorful comment really shows me how professional and how sentimental Tero is.
Globalstar is bankrupt. NeoPoint is out of business. Audiovox is locked into a spiral of decline. Motorola and Lucent -- well, you know.
Golbalstar, well please ask tero is CDMA also responsible for the fall of ICO and Iridium?
NeoPoint: there have been hundreds, if not thousands of dot com companies going belly up in the past two years, will tero also claim internet as a black widow?
Audiovox: I'm not sure what tero means spiral decline, if he's talking about share price then here's the chart of VOXX for the whole life finance.yahoo.com as you can see other than that spike at around year 2000 which was common to almost every single stock, Audiovox is pretty much staying flat out there. If he's talking about the growth of the company. Audiovox has a 5yr growth 27.73 vs 27.78 of the sector. So how does that compile the term spiral decline ?
Mot: Please, I think you, me, and esp. Tero know perfectly that Mot has never been a real supporter of CDMA, just the contrary, Mot's decline is because of its dog attitude against the wireless revolution made Mot degraded into what it is today from its dominance in the world of analog.
Lucent: Maybe Tero forgot that Lu is not a wireless only company. It has it's butt kicked by NT, CSCO all over the places in the world of wireline, networks and optical fibre. As a matter of fact Lu's CDMA product might be the very few bright spots it has. Isn't it funny that with all its problems, LU decided to just totally abandon its business in TDMA/GSM and focus on CDMA more than ever?
Yes in this article Tero appears to be shouting buy Qcom, but the motive(your term) is obvious. The article is a typical yellow journalism at its best. And tell you the truth, if not for the little break I'm enjoying now in the Friday nigh, I won't even bother to talk about it.
I don't like the idea of banning Tero's article on the moderate thread. But I also don't see much of value it has other than stirring the pot. |
