Bux, I don't golf but I did fish, just find it easier to go to fish market. By the way, today is start of lobster season, yum yum. When I suggested that QC buy their way into W-CDMA or GSM, I don't mean that they are any good. There are many migration paths for all the odd ball systems all over the world. A lot of money can be made during this migration. So if QC is going to be a chip company, they should provide a total solution for every system out there and "guide" them in the right direction, to CDMA2000. Ramsey

And The Beat Goes On> October 7, 1999 Vodafone to buy Cable & Wireless' Japan interests LONDON—Cable & Wireless plc said it agreed to sell its mobile telephony interests in Japan to Vodafone AirTouch plc for $411 million in cash. Cable & Wireless sold its shareholdings in the Digital Phone Group on Sept. 22, and has completed a definitive agreement to sell its 2.5-percent holdings in each of the six Digital Tu-Ka companies that cover the rest of Japan. The company said the transaction will result in a profit on disposal of $389 million before taxes. Stephen Pettit, Cable & Wireless' executive director of corporate development, said the company's commitment to the Japanese market now is fully focused within Cable & Wireless IDC, ‘‘in line with our strategy centered on data and Internet Protocol services to business customers.''

Ramsey, it sounds as if you are beginning to buy into the European propaganda hook, line and sinker (oops, I forgot, you don't fish). W-CDMA (whatever it turns out to be) is very similar to CDMA2000. Just tweak a few parameters, etc. Qualcomm has more experience that is applicable to W-CDMA than those pushing for the development of it and you know it. So did you just have a brain hiccup or are you holding out on us? I think that one significant difference between CDMA2000 and W-CDMA is the use of SIM cards. How complex would it be to add SIM cards to CDMA2000? Slacker
