He got some of the "crap" from me. Look, billions of advertising and marketing dollars are spent on creating "demand pull" from the retail customer, even though the firms doing the advertising sell only to middlemen/distributors. Look thru any consumer magazine or newspaper for that matter and count the number of prescription drug ads. What's good about convincing the carriers if the retail consumer is ignorant? I'll bet more than 90% of the users of mobile phones don't even know of the existence of CDMA, TDMA or GSM, let alone being able to define the differences.

Do you think that the Teros of the world have helped or hurt Q's cause? He's one hell of a good spinner with a lot of media influence. And he's not the only guy. There have been quite a few anti-CDMA writers out there in respectable publications slamming the Q. Do you think Q would be better off or worse off if we had a few Tero's out there?
