Re: >>> QUALCOMM Signs with Sprint to Offer the First CDMA Data Application for a Vertical Market - OmniExpress Introduced to the Transportation Market <<<

This is very interesting news because, perhaps, the next step is for Qualcomm to team up with SprintPCS's infrastructure to offer HDR ?!

I hope that's a real possibility, where Qualcomm could use some of its cash to finance and show the world such service is viable ... like they did with CDMA in its early days and projects such as LWIN ... create/start the HDR market and then once it's up running smoothly spin it off.

I keep thinking: I don't see why HDR can not be a *huge* business for Qualcomm (e.g. just like how Ascend and USR/3Com were in the early days of the Internet). Who wouldn't want 2 mbps $50/month wireless Internet access? I look forward to this future inflection point.
