Thank you for your kind comments. I went to the article because I had just read a speech to the Commonwealth Club, by Jeremy Rifkin, on Monday April 17, in which he argued that marketing had changed from the exchange of goods in a town square, to the advent of market capitalism and the beginning of the move from geographic space to cyberspace and on to a "network in which there are no sellers or buyers, no exchange of property, only suppliers and users, servers and clients. There is property but it is never exchanged." I am not sure how that squares with this discussion of customers though. Anyway I wanted more. I appreciate the chance to bend your ear. I also liked your use of pluperfect tense earlier but now I can not find it... jon Ps this was supposed to be a private message !!!

more on Wireless access borrowed from New Qualcomm thread: Ramsey Su who started this subject From: nbfm Wednesday, Jun 7, 2000 2:53 PM ET Respond to Post # 11773 of 11857 Ericsson Presents World's First Live Demo of GPRS, EDGE and WCDMA Wireless Networks Working Together SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 7, 2000--At CommunicAsia 2000 in Singapore, Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERICY) is presenting the world's first live demonstration of interactive, multimedia communications involving three of the new wireless technologies that will carry Mobile Internet services - GPRS, EDGE and WCDMA - working together. Participants in the demonstration are able to chat in real time with other participants, search for friends, browse the Internet or listen to MP3 music over the wireless networks - regardless of whether they are using a GPRS, EDGE or WCDMA network. They can also communicate with each other via hand-written notes written directly onto a terminal screen, in a chosen language, for example Chinese or English, or even use symbols. Powering this demonstration are three wireless installations, each creating a 'mini' mobile network for one of the wireless technologies. The full radio coverage at the exhibition site allows people to walk around freely as they trial the GPRS, EDGE or WCDMA services, always on line. "In communications, connectivity is everything," says Mikael Halen, Director of Product Marketing, Wideband Radio Networks at Ericsson. "This live demonstration confirms the compatibility between the new wireless standards on which the Mobile Internet will be based. We have proved that the standards will work together seamlessly, and validated the migration strategies that today's wireless operators will use as they move forward to more advanced mobile data and multimedia services." Ericsson is the leading communications supplier, combining innovation in mobility and Internet in creating the new era of mobile Internet. Ericsson provides total solutions covering everything from systems and applications to mobile phones and other communications tools.
