Dave, Re cdma's ability to be "connected" at all times without tying up capacity - We are all so conditioned to the "minutes of use" pricing model that this is an easy point to forget. Two questions for our technical pros - 1)Is it true that this is an advantage of cdma over tdma? 2)would a cdma device chew up at least some capacity if it were connected to, say, the net, just from the signals telling the base station "I'm on and I'm in xyz sector", or is this not part of the 1.25 Mhz channel that we would refer to as capacity? What I am looking for is whether or not having several million "on at all times" devices hooked up would strain current system capacity. Clark, Engineer?
