I understand it. Do they charge the people who are re-selling their service/technology? That, in my mind, is a charge for cell service, is it not? I'm not an expert on the technology. I simply look at the big picture using my own logic. What is the difference between wireless high-speed data and voice in terms of capacity. Cannot a high speed data network carry voice data? Does this not pose a problem regarding QCOM and the people re-selling their services or technology? Does that put them at odds? As for a pricing structure: Is it going to be a separate charge for both voice and data? I am naive regarding these issues as they relate to QCOM. I have not seen a pricing structure for HDR. I suppose they will come up with one once they work out the technology, beta test it, market it. Isn't that about 2 years away? That's a long time. I'm just looking at what is currently available and is cheap to use. I'm just thinking about Joe Consumer. Offer wireless mobile service at DSL speeds for $35/mo. unlimited. That, my friend, will SELL. JH
