$0.94 vs. $0.30. 3 times growth. very impressive. Did you check share price gain vs. year ago? 12 times growth. scared? I notice that even with $0.93, the sequential growth has dramatically slowed down compared to previous quarters.

Respectfully to the Chinese: their scientists are top flight, and will see through the following ATT propaganda: >TDMA offered greater capacity and flexibility and the ability to >switch wireless users automatically between analog and digital >channels without disruption to service, said UWC vice president of >marketing Chris Pearson.<<<<<<<<<< So what if it switches from an antiquated system to a soon-to-be obsolescent system, who cares? Capacity? Even a high schooler in China's educational system can see through that. Deals? Now we are in another ballpark. Sure, work one system against the other to the benefit of China, I know I would. I know the Q management can offer many useful perks to China, just like with Ericcson, to get the deal through. Think joining the S&P 500 did not come with a price tag (maybe the recent price manipulation was part of that payment?) and getting the USA to back a new player rather than ATT will come easily? Maybe a technology transfer, controlled to give something to the Chinese while holding on to the cutting edge stuff for a couple years by Q, joint manufacturing, development, etc etc.....what can ATT offer in this arena.....handset assembly lines for antiquated technology????? China knows better, those dudes are sharp, they have been holding a civilization together for better than 5k years....long long time, considering the U.S. is a bit over 200 years, and Europe since the Dark Ages is coming up on about 600 years,,,,,,,so I have trust in the intellignece of Chinese scientists and businessmen (read:politicians) to divide and conquer the market, their market, the biggest there is, by incorporating the clout of politics and the technology of CDMA........this may get much bigger than previously anticipated if China plays to the game.
