Eric, One question - is there no relationship between max throughput and capacity? (Not rhetorical as I'm not positive of the answer though I believe there is) What I mean is if you are capable of providing "X BPS", and instead you find the market is really for small apps that only need "x bps" then can't you service many more customers (apps) at lower speeds? If so, seems to me that the REAL CDMA advantage is not speed (although it is one) but capacity. 1X EV DO will only add to that advantage. QUACK <G>, Claude

I asked for some subscriber numbers and performance reports on GPRS and didn't see any in your report/retort. <g> You also suggested that I was misleading with my report of 6 million 1x users in Korea. Page 2 of this SkTelecom slide has 4.4 million for SK Telecom as of end of February and they have 52% share. The other providers are also deploying 1x. Even if the other providers have half the deployment rate of 1x it would put Korea over 6 million. There are also reports out today from Korea that March was a record month for new subscribers and a very high percentage of these are 1x so it is unlikely that there could be a total deployment under 6 million. sktelecom.co.kr
