PCS and spectrum..... About a month ago there was a Lehman report that indicated that PCS was expecting an 8x improvement in capacity due to 1xrtt, EVRC and smart antennas. The report also said something about how PCS had only used a 5-10MHz of spectrum in most markets (out of a possible 25MHz). Unfortunately this is all from memory.....I only provided a link which has now expired (this is what happens when i get lazy <g>). Does anyone still have access to this report? Anyway....If PCS gets the above capacity gains they should have some excess spectrum to allow the rollout of HDR. This is of course contigent on the capital costs being as low as advertised.....It makes no sense for PCS to allow a valuable resource to go unused. Slacker

Now that the key intellectual property issues are resolved, the mobile wireless industry has an opportunity to make significant headway toward the goal of harmonizing the CDMA platforms comprising the two versions of 3G, notes Wendy Fulk, vice president of marketing and communications for CDMA systems at Ericsson Inc. (www.ericsson.se), which acquired Qualcomm Inc.'s (www.qualcomm.com) IS-95 base-station systems business as part of the compromise on the standards issue. "We're taking the approach of looking at both W-CDMA and CDMA2000 and trying to avoid doing two separate product designs," Fulk says. Over the past couple of months, this process has revealed many common areas and led to a tightening of the development schedule for Ericsson's 3G products, she adds. "When you look at the types of services people are talking about introducing in Japan and Europe--video e-mail, for example--you realize we're not overstating the case for 3G." Does the above clip from your post imply that ERICY is now considering CDMA2000?

Where do Tero, MIka, et all come up with their stuff?
