It's such a dilemma. Which is better? Iran full of CDMA base stations, mini-cells, micro-cells and pico-cells, or the fun of having the second nuclear war in history? On the one hand, I'd get great cash flow, but on the other, it would make for a LOT of excitement if there's a war, mass destruction and horror, disrupted oil supplies and megadeath.

I can imagine which one the news media would think would boost ratings more. Somehow, ElM installing a great CDMA system would not excite viewers. It should.

Cameras should be rolling outside QUALCOMM buildings in San Diego. But I spent a day taking photos from the middle of streets in the area and there was almost nobody and no cars the whole day. I thought it would be a tourist Mecca to rival Disneyland, or, speaking of the Devil, Mecca. Maybe I should organize CDMA Tours to rival The Haj. The Haj gets millions of people, stampedes, tent cities, 747s by the 100, huge cash flow.

Irwin Jacobs could appear on a balcony, or maybe appear in a giant hologram suspended over the valley by the Globalstar gateway satellite dishes. Andrew Viterbi could appear as a cloud of pixels joining together to make his image with a wand, sprinkling sparkling CDMA pixie dust across the sky.

Ah, wishful thinking. I guess we'll have to go with atavistic tribal conflict and boring old explosions and maybe a few mushroom clouds.
