I am guessing that Radio One ZIF technology as applied to CDMA involves certain new patents without which it will be most difficult for any competitor to apply digital RF to baseband conversion to CDMA.<<ggg>> As for Paul Jacobs' stock sale, it was 14K or 921K total shares--a drop in the bucket, but enough for a down payment on a modest cottage in Rancho Santa Fe.

stressing "there is no overlap" of Qualcomm's new chipsets, which is based on CDMA2000, with Sawteck's filters, which are not of the 'third-generation' variety. By "CDMA2000" is Snyder referring to 1X? Isn't that now part of CDMA2000? If the answer is yes, then when Snyder goes on to say "...that few CDMA service providers were planning to switch to CDMA2000" , he is not being accurate. Sprint and Verizon in the US, KDDI in Japan, the Korean operators, maybe BellSouth in Latin America and Nextel in US are going with 1X starting in 2001.
