Someone asked about the implimentation of HDR. HDR will be using part of the unused bandwith on the nationwide PCS network, space is available without a specific build out that would require extensive antenna/tower placements. It's an accessory use to the Sprint PCS system. This could have an impact on Sprint PCS stock as well. The roll out of the system could be rapid.
Think about it, the antennas are in place, the bandwidth is available, the technology is CDMA and it's here now.
Sprint PCS just cancelled a multi million phone order with Nokia because they don't have the technology to make a CDMA internet chip that will work and PCS requires all new phones to be internet ready. Nokia could be in the position of buying the chips from Q* or be left behind along with MOT.
To sum it up:
1. PCS requires all phones to be internet ready whether activated or not.
2. Q* has HDR
3. PCS system is new but is rapidly building more towers.

It doesn't take a genius to connect the dots on this one.
