But perhaps this is why they are taking so long to find a replacment for Armstrong. They want someone who can come in wiht that attitude and have a clean slate to make the change? I mean if the guy were already a staunch CDMA guy before he got hired and the first thing he did was change, then wouldn't this be a way to make the move and kill two birds wiht one stone? How about someone like Craig Farrel from Airtouch, Sukawaty from Sprint? A few names come to mind....

wasn't there the apparently well reasoned ( to us no-technically educated masses) reprot by teh chief technical officer of T only a few short weeks ago where he said he just didn't understand all the fuss and that T was going to be able to offer high data rate wireless services with a TDMA based system limtex, All depends what he meant when he said "high data rate," doesn't it? Just like "is" or "arrest," those words can be complicated. He may have just meant that he would be smoking something when EDGE worked, not that it would transfer bits at a commercially acceptable rate of data transfer. The point is that surely T haven't put someone in that postition who doesn't know what he is talking about. It just can't have happened....can it? "Surely." That is what FUD is all about. saukriver
