Thanks for the summary. I heard the "time to market" advantage of HDR vs DS/WCDMA as 1-2 years. Also, noted the lack of discussion of CDMA -2000. He emphasized the "flexibility" of HDR, and seemed to de-emphasize BOTH WCDMA and CDMA-2000. I intrepreted the message as IF and WHEN the market REQUIRES wider bandwidth/3G systems, he'll compete.

To all, let me see if I understand what Irwin is saying with the following scenario - AOL is celebrating today because the MSFT threat of MSN is over. AOL was suing T for not sharing cable access. All along, AOL should have been worrying about how the hell are they going to be providing wireless internet access? As for T, what now? Ramsey

Development of HDR is one of the most significant events in the last couple of years because it heralds a change to wireless for virtually all communication applications other than those requiring nothing less than the massive capacity of fiber optics. What is really significant is the low initial investment to create wireless systems above and beyond the existing voice networks, as well as the actual cost reductions from switching from wired data networks (in an office building, for example) to wireless. This is truly a revolution in data communication that will not only be useful in developed societies but will make possible the modernization of cultures and societies that have virtually nothing now. Worth a Nobel prize, if you ask me.

Bux, don't underestimate the power of fun. <. I think it is important to consider what possible motives Irwin could have. First, as he has pointed out himself, it's not about money. You can only drive so many cars, live in so many houses, eat in so many resturants, etc> Also, he gave a way $15m when he didn't have all that much to give away. Ironically, if he'd kept the shares for another year or two, he'd have been able to give them $500m. I was interested to see how much he was enjoying himself. The other presenters [including two sons] seemed much less totally on top of it all, though all highly competent. I just love it when people have so much spare energy and ability that they can play as well as handle the serious stuff simultaneously. A shame HDR won't be around until 2001 as a commercial option. I think he is able to come across as being sincere without trying very hard simply by actually being sincere. I think that's why he came across as being in a good mood too - he was in a good mood so smiles come naturally. In fact, has anyone seen him not in a good mood. Rumour has it that he and Viterbi used to get in rows, but I suppose they were rows between equals and more to do with whether photons travel orthogonally or not than a personal row. Mqurice
