The Data problems have more todo with carriers then Qcom. In Japan and Korea they will upgrade quite soon. The TDMA systems have many more severe problems then DATA rates.

Jozef, dont you think capacity and signal quality problems will become an issue? you seem to fixate totally on wireless data... I believe capacity constraints have already become a big problem with ATT... I believe signal echo and resulting static has already become a big problem with most carriers... a CellularOne friend is a sumo user and is ready to bolt from static alone sure, data is not quite ready for prime time but CDMA advantages are not limited to data transmission rake receiving and spreadem rectum are big features / Jim Willie

QCOM is yet to deliver on some of these promises. The competition now has similarly priced voice, and have moved ahead QCOM in data. 'tis not the technology, but as you point out, a carrier issue. The Japanese and Korean carriers are far ahead of our N.American carriers in deploying CDMA data services. These are some of our largest CDMA markets, so please do keep the far east in perspective when arriving at certain conclusions about CDMA. Especially, CDMA data. Regards, Sudeepto.
