Article said 30MM CDMA subs, but aren't we at 35MM already? Perhaps dated material...53MM by year end, fastest growing digital standard on the planet...HOOHAA

Mika, << Terminology has all but been sorted, even Ericsson doesn't call TDMA as D-AMPS >> ... about time <g>. << Not sure how PDC fits in the equation >> ... Nor I. << Agree with Mikko Salminen fo Radiolinja that the market window of HSCSD is too short >> ... well at least we are doing something right in the US by skipping over it and moving straight to GPRS. GSMNA & GSM Alliance appear to have zero interest in HSCSD. << Yes, the biggest problem was the FCC (and in particular one -silent C- Hundt) >> Amen! Really set back coverage in the US. I was singing his praises after the A&B Block auctions. << The 2000 in IMT-2000 also stands for the new spectrum allocation (again an FCC problem) >> I view this as a SERIOUS issue. << Bluetooth aint out yet commercially (thanks to Intel!) and it isn't set for 4Mbps but something in the region of 760 kbps (correct me here) >> I'm pretty ignorant about Bluetooth. Speaking of which, I just noticed there is a new or updated (I think) article called "The Evolution of Cellular Data: On the Road to 3G" on their GSMData site by Peter Rysavy: gsmdata.com I have only scanned it, but like his previous stuff it looks pretty good. << Data Communications (the magazine) is set to die in the next month >> Yikes. The CMP TechWeb site & "Data Communications" have gotten me through a few class room projects in recent years. Presumably the online version will remain or be renamed? - Eric -
