Thanks for providing this extremely interesting quote from Viterbi. Any idea of when he made those remarks? What it suggests to me is that a great deal of voice or data needs can be handled with the current CDMA systems, enhanced with HDR technology. This alternative should be less costly than a 3G CDMA2000, and much less costly than WCDMA. If that is true, then networks such as Verizon and Sprint PCS will be able to price their services lower than other domestic services, including TDMA and GSM. Overseas, an initial installation of the CDMAOne system will also undercut the competition. Price has a way of determining the extent to which a given technology is used, provided that governments don't interfere to prevent implementing the technology. Art
