JGoren: "Thus, there is competition in that arena; HDR can also do mobile." . After listening to the Q's conference call last week, I was all excited about HDR .... after learning more about VOFCDM, I wonder, too about the competition aspect. According to Q, mobile HDR drops data transfer rate from 2 megabits/sec to something like "down to hundreds of kilobytes per second up to 1 megabit per second" if I recall accurately. If I am correct, this is quite the drop for mobile and did I read correctly that VOFCDM can offer (future) speeds of 40 megabytes/sec for fixed targets? This is quite the gain over HDR on the fixed side; discounting any improvements that QCOM has not alluded to in future HDR development. Q also alluded to HDR being a 'transitional technology', if I am not mistaken. But, there were no questions fired at the officers as to what 'transition' was going to be made, unless, it was an allusion to '3G' standards and applications. Judging by the speed of the changes in competing technologies in the next 2 to 5 years, there's going to be a lot of asset shuffling in the wireless investment community ! I'm having trouble keeping up already! -metman
