Further on this. The reason they won't let me listen to the
phones at this time, is the system isn't up just yet. Got to
move the oil companies, pipeline companies, fire dept.
and the such first. The fiascoes had nothing to do
with CDMA, although it makes me wonder about
the Primeco people in general. What irrated me
was the 'If we can't dazzle them with brillance, then we
will buffalo them with B.S.' answers to certain question.
Without being technical, if that is possible, they attempted to
replace a Cadillac with an Edsel. I question this paperwork
within one minute of reading the engineering. What I got
was 'I'm God and I'm never wrong'. I scoffed at this and
said it's your money. Two days into attempting to walk
across water, I again told this joker it is apples and oranges.
It further escalated into a question of my qualifications, which
went over real well. I then tore into this pup with
professional path calculations off the top of my head. Within
about 20 minutes junior realized his mistake. I still was not
amused; re-iterated it was his money and spend it any way
he felt like, but that his half assing was unacceptable.
Shell Oil also rejected this and said they, Primeco, will have
to do better.
It has nothing to do with CDMA. It does bring into question,
somewhat, Primeco's ramp up. I really discount it as the
God mentality. My laidback approach and have worked in
the oil patch for 16 years fools people at times. They now
are back to what I originally brought up immediately and are
in the process of changing the approach. I won't invest
in Primeco anytime soon. They are spending big bucks
moving people off the PCS freq. In talking with others
about this they have generally good things to say, mainly
they are busy because of it. It is, in all fairness, a very large
and complex endeavour, which will have bumps. GSM is
having the same problems. When an engineer's project turns to
shit, it's everything and bodies fault. In this case, it was look in
the mirror to see where the error is. It happens to us all.
So relax, sip your sherry or port. CDMA is still a great technology
that will gain further acceptance. Motorola is doing a demostration
in China for CDMA WLL, which is the real future.
