Have you looked at a chart of the last 5 weeks this year vs. the same time last year:

11/2/99 56
11/9/99 75
11/16/99 91.375
11/23/99 90.06
11/30/99 90.56
12/6/99 99.81

----------------

11/2/00 62.81
11/9/00 72.81
11/16/00 88.06
11/23/00 84.5
11/30/00 80.25
12/6/00 99.625

Maybe Rajala is right; QCOM stock did have a premature ejaculation last year. This is the real deal now!

I liked this bit in Dr. J´s interview:

>"And but in Korea all the subscribers on CDMA where

>generation, but whatever."

Why on earth the Koreans would refer to CDMA2000 1X as 2.5 generation?

Why indeed. Because it has not a 3G capacity and the speed is dismal at 152kbs/sec, even in a laboratory. God knows what it is going to be in a commercial application, less than 100 kbs/sec in any case.

And what are the 2.5G speeds with GSM? GPRS is 100kbs/sec (170 kbs/sec in a lab) and EDGE 300kbs/sec.

These are the reasons for AT&T "capitulation".

Although I don´t understand where the term "capitulation" comes from, since everyone and everyone´s uncle, Auntie Frank and even Diamondhead´s gassy auntie know that TDMA´s development path is also to EDGE to WCDMA.
