Jimbo - $1200 I believe would be the numba. That would work for me, although not quite Cisco from 94-99. Caxton

Only one drop out on the broadcast for me, using a cable modem. I think a big point was the comment on Nokia CDMA phones being returned, Not working very well and may not be back before sometime in year 2000.

More on view from Mexico: Wednesday September 8, 8:17 pm Eastern Time Mexico's Pegaso to invest $400 million in 2000 MONTERREY, Mexico, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Mexican wireless phone company Pegaso said on Wednesday it planned to invest $400 million in 2000 to expand service to 30 cities. ''We are going to add 30 Mexican cities and that implies more than $400 million in investment for 2000,'' Pegaso President Alejandro Diez said at a news conference. He said the company was looking at the possibility of raising money by issuing stock, or by launching bonds on international financial markets. On Tuesday night the company officially began operations in Monterrey, Mexico's industrial capital in the northeastern state of Nuevo Leon. Pegaso already offers wireless service in Guadalajara and Tijuana, and plans to add Mexico City later this year. It aims to expand to all of Mexico within three years. Pegaso, part-owned by Mexican broadcaster Grupo Televisa (NYSE:TV - news), estimated its total investment to expand service to all of Mexico at $1.3 billion to$1.5 billion. Pegaso, with plans for both fixed and mobile wireless phones, aims to grab 20 percent of Mexico's wireless market with 3.5 million users over the next five years.

Brazil will easily be over 50% cdma it already is imho 70% is more accurate as most people switching from analog stay with the same company and the old analog companies 70% use cdma plus the MOT startac is what everbody wants and tdma model was not availible last time i was there only in dual mode cdma the key is price as cdma can cut prices squeeze competition then when data is availible the millions that bell south spent in sao paulo building there tdma system will be toast !!! funny that the europeans who bought telebrasil cellular were lucky as they had already chosen cdma and the americans of bell south choose tdma! regards Bruce ot ational Semiconductor Announces 40MHz Data Deserializer that Enables Hot Board Swapping in Growing Data and Telecommunications Applications DS92LV1212 Receiver Completes Chip Set That is Half the Cost and Consumes Half the Power Of Competitive Devices SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 7, 1999-- National Semiconductor® Corporation (NYSE:NSM - news) today announced the 40MHz DS92LV1212 receiver deserializer that converts serial streams into 10-bit data for wide-band CDMA, cellular base station, Ethernet, TDMA and central-office switch applications. It also is designed for video and imaging applications, such as TV studio equipment and MRI medical imaging systems. ''With its companion DS92LV1021 10-bit transmitter serializer, the DS92LV1212 offers designers a flexible chip set that is half the cost of competitive solutions and consumes only 400mW because of its CMOS design, half the power of competing devices,'' said Eric King, marketing manager for National's Interface group. ''In addition, the chip set permits hot swapping, allowing users to insert new communications cards into live serial data streams without disrupting information flow or turning off power, and its bus LVDS (low voltage differential signaling) technology enables one device to drive many receivers, increasing performance and lowering chip count.'' The DS92LV1212 is the latest National bus LVDS product designed to speed the integration of data, voice and video traffic as systems move from 10Mbs to 100Mbs and higher bandwidth transmission. Other key features include a frequency range of 16- to 40MHz, data rate of 400Mbs and 120ps jitter peak to peak. CMOS technology not only gives the DS92LV1212 the lowest power consumption of any serial data rate device on the market, but also provides other cost and system benefits. Power-saving CMOS translates to less heat dissipation than with competing devices manufactured using BiCMOS or gallium arsenide processes. Consequently, the chip set requires less thermal management, thus reducing system complexity, board area and space requirements. Pricing and Availability Available now, the DS92LV1212 is priced at $9.50 each (1000-unit quantities) in a 28-pin SSOP package. With the DS92LV1021, also in a 28-pin SSOP package, the chip set is priced at $19.00 in 1000-unit quantities. An evaluation kit containing a transmitter board, a receiver board and a mini backplane can be ordered as part number BLVDS02.
