This is the same analyst who downgraded Q 2 weeks ago!> "Owning the rights to CDMA would have been like holding the patents on the internal combustion engine in the 1920s," he said in a recent report. "Everyone who bought a car would have paid a royalty on the engine in that car." Three wireless standards are used around the world. They are CDMA, used by service providers such as Bell Atlantic Mobile; GSM, used by Omnipoint; and TDMA, a variation of GSM that is used by AT&T Wireless Services. Yet it is Qualcomm's CDMA standard that is the most popular, simply because it can carry more calls than the other two standards. "CDMA is the key to next-generation wireless technology," says David Heger of A.G. Edwards.
