Sulpizo said is that it is "absolutely a false statement" ---------- The gsm guild's fundamental, primary, core principal and argument for following a development path to UMTS is roaming, roaming, roaming. Their peripheral arguments revert back - for reinforcement and legitimacy - to the core premise that only with UMTS can carriers participate - with the majority - in global roaming. It's imperative that they maintain this fiction. This is the catalyst for silly statements emanating from guild members' mouths. This is all very good. Like a skilled politician, the guild would ignore the rhetoric of its rival if possible - they are concerned that Q has a receptive audience. Perhaps Q has.

QCOM presentation contains about 31 slides, which I downloaded in PDF from the QCOM site. Among the most notable slides is one that compares CDMA2000 costs with those of every other system; and another which compares the total time it takes to download a 3-minute music selection in MP3 format. For GSM, it takes about 41 minutes. For CDMA2000, about 11 seconds. The compatibility issue is shown graphically, leading even a non-technical viewer to the conclusion that CDMA2000 has licked the compatibility problem, no matter which system you're starting out with. I don't have the necessary software to obtain the audio, but I would be interested in any comments, particularly about the compatibility issue, including questions from the audience, if they are available.
