Greg, on VOFDM etc: GSM is Toast. The bleeding EDGE is just that. GPRS is trivial. W-CDMA will be a cdma2000 clone with warble and not significant if significantly different from cdma2000. HDR will roll out straight after and on top of cdmaOne all round the world. cdma2000 will come in a couple of years after that. Globalstar will fill the gaps in 5 years with 384 kbps WWeb. WLL cdmaOne will get some business, but not an exciting amount. VOFDM will come on-stream in 5 years in WLL applications. Time Domain super broadband pulse signal is still on the never-never plan but something might come of it in fixed applications. {like finding underground pipes} Interdigital and CDMA Q! competitors won't get off the starting line with mobile patent busting technology. I'm not sure I'm allowed to legally say what I really think of Interdigital. Indranet might do okay in fixed applications some time. So might that handset to handset thingy where each handset acts like a base-station, handing calls along to a fibre pipe. CDMA by Q! is 5 years ahead of anything which looks remotely possible and 10 years ahead of serious competition. Which is forever in the wireless business. Especially when the quantum improvements from analogue have already been made. The law of diminishing returns on air interfaces will kick in after another 5 years and Q! will have been at the front all that time. So, VOFDM can happen. But no worries. There was some discussion about it earlier this year. I doubt the conclusion has changed. I think that covers the competition. Mq
