Frank, first he is working on the PCS. However, the cellphone is GSM. The point being is the attacks over the last year by the TDMA/GSM mullahs level at CDMA and it's supposed smoke and mirrors are coming to roost in their hen house. I've for some time attempted to locate users of GSM. Those few encounter aren't impressed (however they are people who actually work in the industry). Europeans and others are straved for any phone and that inflates the claims of these Mullahs. TDMA/ GSM are basically the same technology. They share many of the same building blocks. The variations are slight, with GSM using a variation of FSK modulator. Where as CDMA is an entirely different concept and technology. It's been attacked, led by the Swedes, as voodoo technology. All well debated and documented over the last few years. Their chest-beating of superiority and the such aren't adding up. They incessantly bark about the CDMA problems of drop calls and fraudulent claims of gains in capacity, plus late to market. Well their hens ain't laying eggs without rot or stink. The statement about the 10 story drop is what will face all in digital mobile telephony: individual get aggravated with poor voice quality and drop calls; phone then gets dropped or thrown or slammed. I know of a company in the Northeast who HAD digital cellphones and trade back to pure analog. Same complaints, these were GSM. In Houston, Primeco is inviting the public to test their phones before purchase, but the GSM cellphone wants you to purchase then use. I've been consistant about this, digital in a mobile environ isn't going to be smooth sailing, for any of these standards. I've been involved over the years with moves from analog to digital in fix based comm's. It wasn't smooth. I'm tired of stones being thrown at glass houses. The games have begun, on schedule and some instants ahead of schedule and some behind. Three TDMA PCS markets are behind slightly. There are holes in the Houston CDMA PCS market. This doesn't come as any surprise to me or others that work in communications. There will be good news and bad news in the coming months and there will be claims of fraud leveled by the competing technologies. This being an investment forum, people are betting money on these technologies. I merely am imparting some info from the grunts in the trenches to counter balance some of these PR machines falsehoods. Propagation is propagation, not propaganda. No or poor path, no comm's. In the digital world, that becomes very critical.
