Ouch, that US-AMPS-30kHz-TDMA, still haunting even the later quacks
From: Tom Brush
Is it WSJ incompetence on CDMA or is it just too confusing for your average journalist no matter what journal?
Some bloopers are in bold. Makes it seem as if all "2.5g" will get same performance as CDMA1x. Also repeats the wail that US was so stupid in having competition for standards without reporting that "the holy grail of 3g" would not exist without the CDMA that emerged from that competition.

Then for the quacking
- guys a complete moron, journalists are dumber then lawyers.IMHO
- wrote Mossberg. I suggest you do it as well,especially the engineers among us.
(not one still working DSP-RF-engineer would not agree with the quackiness of 30khz TDMA)

respectfully I think you need to do some more homework on cellular technologies. GSM is woefully inefficient when it comes to handling data because it is spectrally inefficient by at least 6X. I could not believe my ears listening to you support GSM. I know your newspaper has been against CDMA for some reason from the start. But I did not expect it from you.
His response:
I am not against any of these technologies, including CDMA, which I use daily. The Journal isn't against CDMA. That's an absurd claim. But, as an opinion columnist, I believe the US should have picked a standard. CDMA would have been fine with me.

Well, thats not what you said on CNBC!!!
About WSJ bias you should read the articles published in the WSJ on CDMA starting with "Jacobs Patter" written by Quentin Hardy. I will try and send you a link to it.

CDMA in late 80s, ouch-ouch-ouch, compared to US-TDMA which at least was supposed to be
impossible to detect for the AMPS customer, although the phone said "digital" on the lousy
plastic cover, with long antenna.
Funny quacks in these egg-times
