engineer, Could you please clear up one point. I listened to the Q HDR webcast last night and got the impression that HDR is on a separate 1.25 MHz band from voice. Is this true. Do you divide the 5Mhz allocation into 4 adjacent 1.25 Mhz bands and assign them individually to either HDR. Do the Europeans propose to mic data and voice on the same frequency in their W-CDMA---Is this why Jacobs said they will have trouble with their CDMA version.

Hi engineer, long time no howdy. Well it's time once again for Surfer Mike's remote learning class. Just hypothetically speaking, if I was up to my eyeballs in LOR stock and getting just an eensy bit squeamish about G* laying an egg zipping telephone calls all 'round the globe, would I be justified in thinking those birds could be, shall we say, recycled, as hot little data carrier pigeons? From which I could deduce that Gates and McCaw will give Bernie bazillions as they chuck Teledesic and make me richer than Croesus for the wrong reason? You get extra points for a positive answer, and will likely have to live with a very guilty conscience if there's some damned techno reason why this fantasy won't fly, so be guided accordingly. Go ahead: I can take it like a man. best, SM

<The main thing that burns me up is that Airtouch has the same basic network plan that Sprint has and can roll out the data in all basestations at the same time.

You may be right--two neighbors down my hilly street can connect from home via Airtouch.

< They had Salt lake running a year ago, Seattle almost 6 months ago. But they continue to roll out small cities rahter than large ones like LA or San Diego. I guess they won't roll it out there any time soon as they are out of spectrum.

Are you saying I won't be rewarded for a few months of patience?

Thanks.
