IDC: Interdigital has been announcing trials for many years now, touting its B-CDMA solution. What gets lost in the transaction is the size, scope and economic consequence of such a trial. Who is paying for the trial? How big is it? How large a geographic area is involved? MCI would be foolish not to look at all technologies, but B-CDMA is so far removed from commercialization that to posit it a threat to QC is laughable. Think about this very important point: Isn't is obvious that any service provider that is serious about WLL will want to support mobility? I mean, why would a company go through all the effort to deploy a fixed wireless solution that handcuffs the customer to his home? Isn't the point to get the consumer to burn as many wireless minutes as possible? That, plain and simply, is B-CDMA's fatal flaw. QC's WLL solution integrates perfectly with mobility and that is an overwhelming competitive advantage IMHO. Best regards, Gregg
