<font color=DodgerBlue>How things have changed in the wireless world... For those of us not adroit with the wireless alphabet, it's comforting to get such positive testimony from an irrefutable expert like Dr. V. http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=13516054 OFDM – any contributions here by Qualcomm? Flarion (Dr. Viterbi’s current employer) is chairing this initiative. grouper.ieee.org UWB – seems like a little miss on this call – I guess he was used to working for a company that got no cooperation at the FCC. UWB proponents just got permission to operate in 7.5Ghz, not the 1Ghz envisioned by Dr. Viterbi. If you want to go way out, to the people who are promoting fourth- and fifth-generation ultra-wide band schemes, which require a gigahertz which they hope would become unlicensed - well, I say that likely, if at all, it's 25 years off. The regulatory issues are enormous, and I think the technology's probably a decade away from being realizable. Rob
