Qualcomm's (and CDG's) executives did NOT do themselves or their share holders a service by disseminating that misinformation or misinformation on several occasions including data for that Ovum whitepaper that said FOMA would be max 64 kbps. Do you think it really matters?

Eric, 1xRTT as it exists today or any time in the near future sure as heck isn't faster than DoCoMos 3G as it existed June 1st or today. Comparisons are the trick, eh? I am most intrigued by DoCoMo's system. In addition to viewing a successful implementation of a 3GPP-derived wCDMA as defying the laws of capitalism<g>, I would like your opinion on where DoCoMo's system is, relative to HDR in QCOM's lab. In other words, if QCOM and friends were asked to deploy an ev-do system now for KDDI, would it meet or exceed DoCoMo's system? I am assuming, but am open to correction, the following parms exist at the moment: - Limited handsets are required, so: A) Handset cost is not an issue. B) Manuf. scalability is not required at this stage. C) They can be replaced later. - Battery usage is not an issue. - Handoff is not an issue. - System capacity isn't even close to an issue. I wholeheartedly wish you will tell me I am confused, w-CDMA is much further along than I believe, and probably something about my stock being worth more than $44.....<gg> TIA, Coots
