Are you sure we should expect some benefit from 1X in 2H 02 and even the June qtr?

I expect higher ASP's due to the 1x launch...but I think we need to see more about the applications and pricing schemes of Sprint PCS before we can decide to count on 1x carriers gaining marketshare.

Re: slack - I am not counting on any potential increased sales due to the launch of 1x in the US....they might occur, but I dont think they should be in anybody's forecasts

Phones may not increase, but given all the items which have wireless connectivity applications...

Broadband Undergoing Application Expansion

Internet aficionados are finding a new "user population" joining them "on the 'Net,
as industrial machines, household appliances, and cargo-tracking RFID
(radio-frequency identification) tags make their appearances. The variety is
amazing, and includes house-security alarms, condition-based maintenance
(CBM) sensors on Navy fighters and remote pipeline compressors, health alerts
from wearable medical sensors on people located anywhere in the world - and it
shows every sign of growing as wireless Internet, Bluetooth micro-radios and PCS
networks proliferate around the world.


Why this new 'Net population? Because companies, homeowners, boat owners,
freight shippers, dairy farmers, building contractors and other users realize that by
using small, cheap web servers customized for each machine or application, they
can - from thousands of miles away - turn machines on or off, monitor their health
continuously anywhere in the world, track RFID-tagged cargo or vehicles, detect
intruders on company property- and a host of other functions. To accomplish these
functions, they tap into a global Internet backbone through satellite links, wireless
PDAs, mobile and desktop PCs, cell phones and fiber-optic landlines.
