Yes, that's what I gathered too. I was the guy who asked the question about multi-carriers that generated those comments. I had been puzzled because when Dr. Jacobs first spoke of multi-carriers because I had imagined the carriers sharing the same piece of spectrum. In fact, he explained different carriers could share the 5 MHz band, but there would only be one carrier occupying any 1.25 MHz channel at any one time. Efficiencies would come by allowing the 5 MHz to be split between providers between voice and data, and by allowing the mix of voice and data devoted channels to change through the day. I hope you enjoyed your time in San Diego.

<<In a 5 Mhz band you could have 1 data and 3 voice carriers, or 2&2 if data traffic picked up at 8 AM, switch back to 3&1 during lunch time, and go back as needed. >> DWB, You have the general idea. I'm looking for any information on how dynamic this re-allocation is/can be. Does it require changes by a tech physically at the equipment? Is it preset by timers based on historic(old) data? Is it set manually from a remote monitoring center? Or ideally, does it occur via software based on pre-set parms as traffic conditions ebb and flow throughout the day? I think the latter really opens up an avenue for creative minds within QCOM, at the infra vendors, or maybe even third-party software vendors to really push the whole concept of separate voice and data channels.
