What I mean is that it doesn't matter that both TDMA and CDMA work, they odviously do. The deeper and more important question (that I believe the pup was looking at) was which is cheaper and possibly better in the long run for operators to use?

Does "pup" refer to me? Is this another thread-specific canine reference, or am I missing something?

I was actually asking the former, i.e. does CDMA have a distinct advantage because of a similarity between code division and TCP/IP packets. So my question was answered. You're right, though, that the larger question of which is faster/more reliable/cheaper is more important (especially since my question turned out to be moot).

I also had another motive, and that was to swing some of the conversation to something besides telephony. Maybe it's because I'm immersed in Web work, but I see Qualcomm as a diversified communications company with an eye on the big picture. This Korea thing is just a blip. If Qualcomm executes well, they could dominate mobile Internet messaging. Does anyone else think this is important?
