Hop-On Wants Customers to Throw Away Intel Chipsets Online staff -- Electronic News, 5/1/2002 e-insite.net Soon everybody will be throwing away their Intel chipsets. That is, only if disposable cell phone maker Hop-On.com Inc. becomes a success. The company today announced Intel Corp. would be providing it with TDMA chipsets for use in its disposable cell phones. Garden Grove, Calif.-based Hop-On said it is initially targeting the United States and Latin America with its disposable and recyclable cell phones. According to the company, the wireless trade organization 3G Americas has said that TDMA added more subscribers than any other technology in the Americas, ending 2001 with more than 90 million subscribers. "This is the latest in a series of strategic deals for Hop-On," said Peter Michaels, chairman and CEO of Hop-On, in a statement. "We continue to pursue agreements with the industry’s leading developers and network carriers, while at the same time working to secure distribution agreements globally. Intel gives us yet another strategic advantage and ensures that we will have the capacity to meet the expected demand for our disposable cell phones. Importantly, we now have GSM, CDMA and TDMA chipset solutions which will allow us to work across all carrier platforms."
