Eric, this is a request from RB. Anyone have the early 1997 W$J article about the ex-MIT professor with a new idea that might just work that went against the common consensus (called CDMA)? I remember reading it back when I subscribed to the W$J, and it started my interest in QCOM. The plans for the Superbowl in the QCOM Stadium made me research the stock (Valueline), and then buy some. Can you help out? Thanks

>>Here we are, almost 5 years later. GSM still does 9.6 kbps (anywhere). CDMA does 14.4 kbps here, 64 kbps in Korea and Japan, and before we know it we'll be at 144 kbps. At that time GSM GPRS will be struggling to get to half the speed of a V.90 modem.<< Eric, the author in the article linked below thinks GPRS will beat everthing. By ignoring 1X's time to market and having some confused ideas about CDMA she has come to the conclusion that GPRS will beat W-CDMA and CDMA-2000.
