Mike, do you have an opinion about HDR versus the CSCO fixed wireless offering? See the WCII thread for some limited discussion from Dr. Levy.

Michael, Great post. I work for a fortune 500 company and it is amazing how technology has been rapidly changing: 7 years ago: we were sharing one slow pc among 20 individuals in my group. 5 years ago: we got old pcs coming our way from our head quarters. 3 years ago: everyone had a pc on their desk. 1 year ago: the internet access was given to few people now: everyone wants faster computers and everyone knows how to access the www. There are 3 Sprint sales people hanging around our cafeteria off and on for 3 months showing off their phones and now how to access the internet. We have at least 10,000 people working in our facility during 3 shifts and let me tell the crowds around these sales people are getting bigger and bigger every day. Makes me want to go out and open a wireless phone business myself : ). In order to add capacity and meet demand for our network they are running computer cables around me everyday and just running one line takes them at least a half day. This wire thing is becoming old and very expensive to maintain so I can see with time we will all have some sort of wireless access from work and home. Few months ago I was in the hospital taking care of my dad for a few weeks. During that time I was always thinking about what a thrill it would have been to have a wireless pc available (not to mention when I was in Europe on vacation, on a business trip to Chicago, and every time I visit my parents). I am really excited about the future prospects of QCOM and I am thankful to have found this great thread that opened my eyes to the future of communication. QCOM, toll gate to wireless
