<''Qualcomm is the preeminent one here (in CDMA) and that obviously puts them in a good position,'' said Brian Modoff, an analyst at BT Alex.Brown, who believes that ultimately CDMA will emerge as the winning standard. ''In three to five years, 90 percent of the world will have access to CDMA.'' So, there's GSM and CDMA, both -- depending on whom you ask -- so-called second-generation wireless standards. But in the next three to five years, Modoff said, third-generation, or 3G, versions of CDMA will be rolling out. These 3G standards will allow for far faster data transfer rates and for much more robust and sophisticated Web browsing on devices, he said. In addition to claims of providing better voice quality, CDMA, which Qualcomm developed, takes information contained in a signal and spreads it over a wide bandwidth. This allows telecommunications operators to carry more phone traffic than GSM, no small matter given the growth of wireless traffic.> biz.yahoo.com Very nice Dr.!
