John: To the extent that your initial comments suggest that GSM will prevail over CDMA, I will let the future speak for itself. Suffice to say that QCOM's explosive earnings growth, ERICY's capitulation in the QCOM/ERICY litigation, and ERICY's purchase of QCOM's CDMA infrastructure division suggest that the proof is already in the pudding. As for your statement about CDMA being a "different air interface which can happily be grafted onto the GSM," this is simply double-talk. Until GSM lost the battle, these two systems were direct combatants. Now, of course, the GSM crowd wants to make nice and say it's "just an air interface." Again, GSM may be everywhere (for now), but recall that "Man is born free; yet he is everywhere in chains." This applies when innovation is stifled by socialist systems of centralized planning.
