<They did this because the larger, less populated states were seen as being likely to possess significant sources of wealth> But they were not so clever as to foresee the situation in the 21st century when wealth does NOT come from the land and wealth is not 'possessed', it is produced by creative imagination. In the stone age and hunter-gatherer past and into the agrarian realm which predominated until the 20th century, simple territoriality was the basis of wealth. It still is in the animal kingdom and conflict over territory is the producer of wealth. Not now in the human world, though my guess is that most people still think it is true for people. So it's a bit odd to have the same representation from Alaska or Hawaii, which were added ages after the constitution got going. Montana is questionable too. California and The New Paradigm produce the wealth and the barbarian hillbillies dispose of it. Down with democracy! Adulation of the people who wrote a rather simplistic document is going a bit far. NZ has an even more simplistic document which is venerated as though it was produced directly from a supernatural being. It's a mere 3 paragraphs long and an absurd 3 paragraphs they are, but the government here is pretending they can conjure a whole human realm in the 21st century from it. Hence, Maoris are to get some spectrum in an apartheid gift from the rest of the population. Of course the gift will be to the boys in the club, not your average 'Maori' who joins the rush hour twice a day. Maoris will get their own 3G spectrum! They've apparently got great DNA and somehow the government thinks they can do a better job of segregation than did South Africa and the USA. They'll fail. Mqurice PS: Maybe the 21st century is going to degenerate into bedlam. Insanity seems to rule. <To be clear, Woo added, "We are deploying Wideband CDMA, which is not related to CDMA." > Then there is this: Bryan Prohm < He dismisses Qualcomm’s claim of WCDMA authorship. NTT DoCoMo "was really the progenitor of Wideband CDMA," he said. "Qualcomm is exploiting the fact that there’s CDMA in the acronym of a technology that AT&T will deploy."> Simply loopy!
