Hi Jay, Agreed about the refer, I'd hate it if the network got to the point where it could lock me out, because I'd exceeded my doctor's opinion of my ideal daily caloric intake. What I gather of the Bluetooth experience at Telecom '99 was that the various vendors got into a pickle because there is no Qos or "polite" way to use Bluetooth. Giving conniption fits to the likes of Aironet and Breezecom.com who rely on the same RF bands, and who have their signal stomped by the Blue Meanies. Talk about the Tower of Babel, oy! I suppose what will eventually have to happen is that the Bluetooth devices will have to be power-limited, which inadvertently will make them usefulness-limited as well. Here's my question for the thread: It seems that there are two separate camps on the 3G development front. The Q*/CDMA Development Group crowd, and the rest of the world, who seem content to use tri-protocol TDMA/GSM solutions. Will this world always remain bifurcated, or will some standards body enter the fray and create winners and losers? Just Wondering, Ray
