(("A very simple way to look at the three technologies, analogue, GSM and CDMA is like this. Analogue is just this tableware we have fixed for four people that will eat. Unless one has finished then maybe another will come in. So only four people will eat. And then you know they will expect "why do you have tables like this, why don't you put additional chairs, because why don't you put additional chairs because there's some space why do you just restrict to four. That is GSM. There you know instead of four you have eight. So it has move capacity, it can serve more people. Then another person says "Look why do you have to do with tables. These tables is occupying this space area. Why don't you remove the table, remove the chairs. Let's have cocktail. If we have cocktail, instead of eight people, you can have fifty people standing, each are standing eating, talking, exchanging pleasantries and all that. The only problem that you have to cope with is noise. But how do you suppress the noise level? That is CDMA. So that is how it is.")) Very clever way of putting things... regards. blg

Dennis, << Interview with Nigerian CDMA Operator >> In potential violation of the rules of this thread I will simply say that the post about the interview with Ahmed El-Rufai was MOST entertaining. How do you tell your investing friends (who could care less) about the advantages of CDMA over AMPS or GSM? Well, Mr. El-Rufai dit it, in a most articulate way. Great post and thank you. - Eric -

Nigerian CDMA forces still keeping Government GSM only forces at bay. Nigerian revised policy provides that firms will have the choice of which technology to deploy for mobile communications versus a GSM only policy favored by eurocentric goverment bureaucrats thanks to the efforts of Mallam Nasir El-Rufai who was interviewed in post #71. Anyway, thats what I get out of this very long and not very concisely written article. library.northernlight.com
