re: Accessible Market For Wireless Infastructure << Buckingham is close to a nervous breakdown, no?? Borderline case, looosing contact with reality, yes?? >> Not a Nokia fan ... not everybody is. Just looking at the slides from the CEO Roadshow again and did a listen to the latest (no new Q&A however ... would have liked to have heard that). Nokia's view of the accessible market for infastructure is as follows. potential is nearly doubling Share of infrastructure investments - by technology. Year 2000 Year 2003 GSM 57% GSM-EDGE 43% CDMA 20% CDMA 12% TDMA 17% TDMA 5% PDC 6% WCDMA 40% Jorma says that in the following year the next big discontinuity is the all IP network. I buy that, although this will depend on 3GPP 'R5, so maybe 2005. Nokia seems well prepared. - Eric -

re: The Big Boost UK Cellular News 24th May 2001 Presume there is comparable booster for GSM? Same Result? >> Australia Bans Cell Phone Boosters The Australian telecoms group, Telstra has welcomed the decision by the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) to prohibit the use mobile phone booster amplifiers. The use of illegal boosters now attracts penalties including fines and imprisonment. Telstra supports the prohibition as CDMA boosters can cause severe interference to the CDMA network and disrupt services to customers. Mr Tim Buckley, Telstra’s CDMA Director said "Extensive testing of the booster devices has shown that they provide no coverage improvement over the use of an external roof mounted antenna." Telstra carried out extensive testing as part of a demonstration to ACA representatives last week in Bendigo, on a number of CDMA booster kits. No coverage or performance improvement was found over an ordinary roof-mounted vehicle antenna. All boosters were found to cause significant interference to the network and other customer calls, under various conditions. << - Eric -
