David, Qualcomm Inc. on Wednesday said it expects to see 170 million users of mobile phones based on its technology by the end of the year I didn't hear that (but I tuned in late). 80 million and 85 million of its next-generation CDMA2000 1X phones during the full calendar-year 2002 ... Those two statements seem a bit at odds to me. To me as well, and 58 million net adds this year seems highly improbable. Did anyone actually hear 170 million cdma users by year end? - Eric -

David and threaders, Did you hear Secretary of Defense Rumsfield, state on CNBC last night that one of the big problems that the armed services are facing in Afgan was there is not enough wideband. He stressed that wideband was going to be one of the big problems facing the future technology armed services. To night at Wal*mart I spoke with a salesperson for Cingular telephone. She stated that AT & T is selling portions of their land based systems and going cellular phones and that the armed forces have taken control of their satellites do to inadequate wideband. Have any of you threaders heard of such a problem? Will this deter the spread and rollout of 3 G cell phones by CDMA? She stressed that GSM (sp) was the predominate technology in the U. S. Is there any truth to what she stated? If there is a shortage of wideband then we could have another shortage in technology, correct? Paul V.
