Yes, agree with what you wrote. However, the problem for W-CDMA, if you trust Jacobs expertise on this, is that it does not work. Or at least has yet to be shown that it will work. He listed two big problems (phones overheat and inefficient use of spectrum) that they are having with no apparent path to a solution. He also said something very interesting that relates directly to the "noise" that periodically shows up about "breakthroughs" with W-CDMA, EDGE, GPRS. It is one thing to demonstrate something on a single channel in a laboratory setting and another to do it live with multiple users in a real world-type setting like QCOM did today. Today's demonstrations and what goes on for the next two days with HDR will mark another watershed in the ascendency of QCOM and CDMA. IMHO.
