Jim, thanks. I thought I was losing it there for a while. If you should happen to come across that ITU document again and can point us to it, I for one would be interested in reading it. I'll do the same. ------after a brief pause: Okay, here's one of the references I cited earlier. It's an interview with Ira Brodsky being conducted by Gordon Cook in the February 2000 Cook Report On Internet, cookreport.com . Cook's introduction of Ira Brodsky goes like this: "Editor's Note: Ira Brodsky is President of Datacomm Research Co., a St. Louis area technology and market forecasting firm. Brodsky has written two books on emerging wireless communications. His firm also published the report Portals to Profit, reviewed by The COOK Report On Internet earlier this year. We interviewed Ira Brodsky on December 23." ======begin excerpt: INTEROPERABILITY Cook Report: What interoperability issues exist? Brodsky: Analogue mobile phones had some issues but when you go digital, doing so meant that different approaches to operation were largely contained in software. Consequently it becomes relatively easy to build phones that can conform to multiple standards. Today you have phones that can do both analogue and CDMA or analogue and TDMA. Since analogue is nationwide, users are assured that their phone will work anywhere in the nation. In the future you will see phones that will do both CDMA and TDMA or CDMA and GSL. It is somewhat ironic that when the dual standard phone were first released some of hem had prob-lems with their analogue reception capabili-ties because digital circuitry was being used to emulate analogue behavior. COOK Report: What has to happen for an analogue carrier to be able to support digi-tal? Brodsky: Such a carrier will have to over-lay its entire network by installing a digital base station with every cell site. From a purely defensive point of view, most of the cellular carriers have had to do this because the use of PCS has grown so rapidly that it has forced them to speed conversions that were taking place very slowly.... ========end excerpt My other source sounded very much like the line of thought conveyed above.
