<synchronous operation (in addition to asynch)> Must be extremely indirectly that any QCOM chipsets will have an advantage with that?? Well, maybe in some reminding niche market which does not allow regular roaming handsets nor introduction of competition among base station vendors nor operators?? But there is no regular possibility existing, considering regular cashflow, R&D, factory, component, logistics and service costs, facing regular mobility, to keep a little niche like that untouched, isolated and economically alive and improving. All those really cheap, locked and propriatory, by 1980s standards, limited cityphones, never reached the threshold to make a second generation investment profitable, although some governments tried to. That little thing on 1-10-100 million sold and margins, plus the local money and cashflow they produce when used. Ilmarinen Was it CT1 or CT2?? was such a long time ago?? Btw, using the same chip for 2 years actually goes into the 200 millions area, but still far from the task and economics of producing one or two billions of something. (although that is coming soon, how much worth spending to save 1 cent on a billion of handsets before they are one generation too old??)
