<All opinions are valid.> Rick, that's not really a valid opinion! For example, look at this opinion. It is not valid: <...There's no reason to regard further data upgrades such as EDGE as any more lacking in credibility than other proposed 2.5G or 3G models.> The fact is that there are MSM5000 ASICs now in real devices, being designed into real applications, ready for sale to subscribers at the end of the year. EDGE remains a technologically dodgy VapourWear of the GSM Realm. There is extremely good reason to regard EDGE as lacking credibility compared with CDMA upgrades, which are already real. Another opinion that is invalid is that DS-CDMA and MC-CDMA are equally attractive to Korean companies. They are not. DS-CDMA will cost them a lot more in royalties. MC-CDMA will cost the same as the existing CDMA. Mucho said the majority of the world is going with W-CDMA or DS-CDMA as it's now called. I have in front of me a chart from the CDMA Development Group, which includes Ericsson, showing W-CDMA as being quarter of the total CDMA subscribers in 2005. That's my opinion anyway, which is the most valid opinion as far as I'm concerned. Mqurice
