who were the people on the panel other than the QCOM guy? From the Comdex materials: Wednesday, November 15 11:45am - 1:00pm 2.5G and 3G Cellular Level 300 CHAIR: Loring Wirbel, Electronic Engineering Times PANELISTS: Tammy Parker, U.S. Correspondent, Mobile Communications International and 3G Mobile, Johan Lodenius, Sr. VP, Marketing and Product Management, Qualcomm CDMA Technologies, Elda Rudd, Director, Marketing, Wireless Internet, Nortel Works, Umesh Amin, Director of New Technologies and Planning Team, AT&T Wireless Services, and Chairman of the Board, UWCC What's next in cellular? "2.5G" systems, which are being deployed beginning in 2000, will get throughput to 64 Kbps and beyond. And 3G systems, which will begin to appear in some parts of the world in 2001, promise throughput to an astonishing 2 Mbps - and perhaps far greater. But the road to the next level of wireless performance is a rocky one at best - what services will carriers really provide, when will they roll them out, and what will they really be able to do for us? Will the expense of system upgrades slow deployment, or is consumer demand simply so overwhelming that the carriers have no choice but to make the massive investments required? We'll look at these questions and more as we examine the transition to mobile broadband communications. I'm sorry I don't have the information on the other seminar where this discussion took place. I don't have the book with the info and can't seem to find the session on the website.
