pass pass: Have fun.

What was is past, what is now is CDMA.

Re: politics, sure, that matters, but so does what might perhaps be a bit relevant such as what is qualitatively and quantitatively best.

But then, let's wait and see, shall we?

Best. Chaz

Re : pass pass's incorrect, inflammatory remarks -- for the benefit of those who might not be absolutely positive on how to totally refute the latest comments from "pass pass" ("CDMA is 40 years old technology") ...

Here goes :

IS-95A

IS-95B

cdma2000 1x

cdma 2000 1xEV

are all examples of CDMA technology invented by Qualcomm and (heavily) protected by numerous patents.

If Qualcomm's CDMA stuff were as pass pass said, then :

patents & trademarks would never have been granted

and ... Qualcomm would not have prevailed on every single patent lawsuit.

I assume the fact that "pass pass" has appeared here right now is an example of what Art Cashin of Paine Webber mentioned yesterday on CNBC (during his 3:05 P.M. appearance) :

Art said (I am para-phrasing) :

'We started hearing a lot of these ridiculous, non-sensical rumors; all bearish.

The long-time professionals down here on the Floor [of the NYSE] actually look forward to the point when we start routinely hearing these silly bearish rumors, because it indicates that the people who are short sellers are getting a bit desperate, and have run out of legitimate points to discuss."
