3G: The great wireless mystery <<3G-Hype Job 2001>> By Ben Charny ZDNet News Just two weeks ago, Qualcomm Chief Executive Irwin Jacobs held the elusive "3G" in his hands. He was wandering the floor of the Cannes Film Festival using an experimental modem to patch his handheld into a nearby bay station, he told a group of investors at his company's annual meeting this week. Video streamed onto his device. He surfed the Web and patched into a private corporate network. The billions of dollars spent so far in bandwidth licenses, infrastructure construction and research and development has so far allowed Jacobs to make the jump to the next generation of wireless devices. But when do the rest of us get a crack at playing with the future? The answers are about as clear as the alphabet soup of standards and chipsets that many blame for the hype, as well as launch delays. Some industry analysts say 3G, or third generation, arrives in May, but only in a limited release in Japan. Others say it's already here, in South Korea. <snipper> zdii.com

Poet & Rose, It is almost 28 years since my husband and I met in college. He has been the love of my life and my best friend ever since. My most ardent wish for our children is that they will find relationships as satisfying and lasting as ours has been. I hope that he will one day tell you more about himself. Poet, sorry to hear what you went through and it is wonderful that your husband was there for you. I am not interested in stocks so you won't see me around much. Take care
