Webster, I was suckered into actually trying to make sense of this guy's is saying before I realize that he must be on drugs. There are so many inconsistencies, using time tables and performance estimates which we already know that is unattainable. On one hand, he is talking about video clips, download music and built in cameras while on the other hand, he is talking about the users being happy with: TWST: So it's not nice to fool the consumer. Mr. Barrett: No. For example, people are talking a lot about higher and higher data rates, when the reality is that people are not going to get two megabits per second initially. You actually don't need two megabits per second, you need 20-60 kilobits per second for most applications. Most of the services that we're going to see in the early years of 3G will happily live within 128 kilobits per second, maximum. Most of them will only need 20-30 kilobits — even 10 or 15 kilobits will be acceptable in some cases. Yes, we all experienced growing pains with CDMA when Sprint and other first launch a few years ago. However, most of that was due to not enough cell sites and minor "tune up" problems. At the moment, am I correct in saying that no one has demonstrated wcdma would actually work? NOK to have 25 WCDMA trials in September 01 Is this actually good news to QCOM? Would a 3G license be required for trials? Ramsey
