PS LMDS, OTOH, is probably not a significant threat for the service providers (stationary vs mobile), but being a less interference driven system it probably doesn't need CDMA to anywhere near the same degree as mobile systems. In other words I wouldn't expect CDMA to make large inroads into the really large-pipe, fixed, business-oriented, last miles. But the mobile and semi-mobile market is plenty large enough! No, I don't agree with this at all. Anything that is wireless is susceptible to interference, ergo CDMA is a proven technology in that regard. Secondly, CDMA is not just applicable to wireless. Coax, especially CATV, is an area which CDMA would be a good technique to employ when they get around to going digital. There is even research being done in the realm of fiber using CDMA: cictr.ee.psu.edu
