Arnie, after reading the Motorola press releases on shipments of iden units, a few questions came to mind.
<<<SCHAUMBURG, Ill. (Oct. 31, 1997) - Motorola's Land Mobile Products Sector
today announced the fulfillment of two important milestones: more than one million
iDENr integrated digital wireless communications devices are now in service
worldwide, and Motorola's iDEN Group has shipped its millionth second generation
digital handset, just 16 months after introduction.>>>>
One million iden units in service now, and shipped it's millionth second generation (i370?). Does this make sense to you, or am I easily confused?
<<<<Eight iDEN systems currently are active worldwide with service being provided in
Argentina, Canada, Colombia, Israel, Japan, Singapore and two systems in the United
States>>>>
Since Nextel wasn't (isn't) active in these ares in October 1997, I must assume there are more providers of iden phones than we are aware of.
<<<<In addition, six new iDEN systems currently are being built, including a second system
in Argentina and systems in Brazil, China, Korea, Mexico and the Philippines.>>>>
A second system in Argentina, whoa, that's news to me. Korea?
<<<<SCHAUMBURG, Ill. (February 23, 1998) - Motorola's Land Mobile Products
Sector today announced it has shipped more than two million iDENr integrated digital
wireless handsets worldwide since the product was introduced in 1994.>>>>
Does this include the second generation units described in the Oct. 1997 article?
<<<<iDEN networks are currently operational in Argentina, Canada, Colombia, Israel,
Japan, Korea, Singapore and the United States. In addition, iDEN systems are being
built in Brazil, China, Mexico and the Philippines>>>
How many are Nextel's networks?
