Re: MOT announcement and their statement that "...unlike Qualcomm's high data rate (HDR) proposal, voice and data can co-exist on the same 1X Plus carrier." Can anyone comment on the technical merits (or demerits) of mixing data and voice on the same carrier? I recall Dr J commenting at some point that he did not think that was a good way to go. TIA, jack

It has been stated by Dr. J that data and voice shouldn't be mixed. I'm not clear why that is, I would like the ans. to that. Now we have MOT saying it is not only do-able put can be done in an open standard approach. I view MOT's 1x Plus news release to be the most damaging news that I have seen recently, although it appears to be vapor as of now, still, it throws up a road block to QCOM's HDR. Greg
