ETRI suit. I believe it was Gregg who pointed out--and you can even read the articles in Forbes or some other mag linked on the thread in the last few days--where it is clear that "cellular" and "PCS" are clearly two different things in the industry and even to the public. Sounds to me like the ETRI suit is doomed if the contract says "cellular", and Qcom may even get its attorney fees paid. Even I know there is a difference! Regarding the announcement of Ericy's new modem for data services, fax, etc. As I understand it, the primary difference between cdma and GSM is spread spectrum at narrower band (I hope I got that right), which is superior for data transmissions. Then how can a GSM standard really effectively handle data even with a fancy modem. Wouldn't it be inefficient, more costly and merely a short to mid-term holding action for GSM--and depend on plenty of extra or unused capacity from the carrier? Response from any technical folks would be appreciated as to how that thing would work and how effective it might be.
