To all: I'm back. Had to go see some people who speak funny. Even funnier than myself. Skimming thorough the mass of postings I missed a lot so be patient with me (you never were anyway).

So there's at least one posting so far about my favorite topic, the mobile-for-the-morons concept, the WLL. Unfortunately it was from Skip Paul:

>In fact CDMA based WLL subscribers will outnumber GSM
>subscribers next year and chances are that competitive
>mobile CDMA operators are going to spring up in most
>cities early next year.
>
>BOTTOM LINE IS THAT GSM IS SIMPLY NOT ECONOMICAL
>COMPARED TO CDMA AND WILL BE GRADUALLY REPLACED.
>That is a hard fact for you to accept but that is
>simply how markets work.

Yeah. WLL outnum bering GSM in India. Sure. And this GSM vs. CDMA thing, Paul, you forget to mention that the replacing CDMA is WCDMA. And as anybody knows, WCDMA = GSM version of the theme.

Also it is relatively smart to change GSM network to CDMA1 (Engineer, are you there, I mean CDMAOne), at least compared to changing GSM to WLL network. But not much smarter.
