Didn't See This Posted- MOT-Galvin-CDMA> From Motorola Tries to Regain Its Edge Interview November 08, 1999 by Chuck Lenatti CEO Chris Galvin hopes to reinvent his family's company for success in the Internet era. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> a clip: Upside: What's happening with CDMA (code division multiple access)? Galvin: It appears that CDMA will be the underpinning of what might be two slightly different implementations of third-generation cellular. One is off the U.S.-based standard and the other is off the European advocacy for a standard. They'll both be CDMA. The issue is making them backward-compatible so your customers can evolve and reuse what they've already put in place. The closer it comes to a world standard, the more leverage one can get on common ICs, common software approaches and those kinds of things. There may end up being two slightly different CDMA standards. If that's the case, we would build both of them. But we're urging everybody to make it as close as possible. >>>>>>>>>> Quote on China: "Galvin: People are buying cell phones like crazy all over the world. We are a huge fan of China and what they're seeking to do and the progress they've made. The evolution of IP in China is superb. The buildout of cellular has been quite spectacular because, in certain places, it provides the fastest opportunity to have a very reliable telephone call to state-owned factories. But many consumers and organizations in China use phones and pagers, and that's where the growth comes from. Whether it's in their personal lives, business lives or service to society through being members of government organizations, people need to communicate, and that's one of the ways to get it there quickly. >>>>>>>>>>>>>
