qdog: Fair enough. Thanks. From the misunderstandings and hurt feelings which pop up from time to time on this board, seems like you are right that the spoken word permits clearer communication. :-) Bandwidth itself is an area where there has been some discussion here but not much. Is there anything in CDMA itself which limits it to narrowband? Or is it just that CDMA has advantages within narrowband that it does not enjoy in broadband? And do 3rd gen CDMA data possibilities enter into the broadband area as a practical alternative for big pipe data transmission if the bandwidth itself is broad enough? Since there does seem to be a move toward broadband wireless for transmission of business data in competition with fiber for the last mile, am curious how CDMA might fare in that environment. Also since CDMA seems to have some advantages with satellite use, might any of those advantages carry over to terrestrial broadband? Chaz
