Bernard, with voice over IP, are there disadvantages compared with voice over cdmaOne digital wireless? cdmaOne involves voice compression and non-voice exclusion. Ericsson has declared IP to be their long term position, much as Microsoft has declared the Internet the be-all and end-all.

Should cdma2000 be aiming at IP as the be-all and end-all? One of the advantages I see is that domain names, email addresses etc are a lot easier to manage than phone numbers, which only memory freaks can handle.

Anyone can remember BernardLevy@hotmail.com, but nobody can remember 00 1 619 314 1592 and when phones have voice activated dialing, it will be easier to say "Denwa,[Japanese for phone] call, BernardLevy@hotmail.com" than look up your name, then say a bunch of numbers. I suppose one could look up your name in the worldmail listing on the Web then maybe just push "send".

Anyway, if you can enlighten me I'd appreciate it.

1 I want no more phone numbers.
2 I want good clear voice with outside noise filtered.
3 No voice delay.
4 Cheap.

Is that consistent with IP and Qualcomm's cdma2000?

Thanks,
Mqurice
