"...The wireless world is also about globalisation, massive demand and the need for new technologies. But that message has somehow not gotten across. The wireless vision is nowhere to be seen."
The wireless vision is to be found hidden away in Q! for U! buildings in San Diego. And in the mountains of Montana [where Klein Gilhousen hides out]. And beavering away in a thousand little nooks and crannies around the world.
It is GOOD for shareholders that the WWeb[TM] vision remains obscure for now. QUALCOMM is gaining ground on competitors every day that they carry the vision while Ericy and others sleep on the job, emphasizing, like Tero, that anachronistic, obsolete, GSM last hurrah of the 20th century. By the time they wake up, Q! will have developed mountains of patented technology for WWeb.
See what happened with cdmaOne. L M Ericsson claims to have invented CDMA in mobile and spent a decade developing it, ahead of Q! Nevertheless and despite Ericy's vast income and ready built research facilities and staff, Q! went from a standing start to way ahead of them. We can conclude that L M Ericsson is living a fantasy life. It was GOOD that they believed cdmaOne couldn't be done.
Suppose they had gone crazy on CDMA in mobile from when it first was hinted at, then Q! would not be likely to have developed a total and complete dominance of the technology. Well, maybe it isn't total and complete, but they have sure got a clear run with sufficient patents to make big headway on cdmaOne and cdma2000. Without Ericsson or anyone else.
With luck, they'll get about 3 more years headstart before many people realize just what this WWeb is going to mean to humanity and the market capitalization that is going to surround it. Maybe part of their strategy is to keep a discreet, low profile while they get it all together. Having noise, hype, excitement and a high share price would attract too much attention and competition.
Imagine how many people will be looking at Yahoo! right now, drooling and wondering how they might carve out a slice of the action. Yahoo! will have competitors all over it like hagfish at a dead whale party. If they had quietly strengthened their Web presence before anyone realized what was going on, they'd have been better able to handle competition.
When the son of pdQ is ready to roll and the WWeb is humming, THEN is early enough for the "WWeb = Q! and U!" hype to begin. By then, Tero, Ericy and others will be thinking that GSM is about to get a second wind. Nokia will bring out a glow in the dark 64xx model with snakes and ladders built in. Q! will bring out pdQ2002 with full blown WWeb, cash transfer by encrypted email, fully voice controlled with small keyboard, full-size radio-linked keyboard optional, GPS, Globalstar link, 3D digital video cam with stereophonic sound and vegemite dispenser.

PS: How about that plagiarist presenting a paper in March99 about DNA and CDMA with PRN etc! Luckily he didn't get the quarkian connection. Thanks to JPBrody for the information.
