Wait a minute, bud! The stuff about considering OFDM as a standard for Release 6 doesn't require a whole lot of brainpower. It's not as if I, a non-techie, would have to make judgment calls on the merits of the technology--I freely admit that I have no clue as to whether OFDM is good, bad, or indifferent. It sounds promising, but that is as far as I can go. It is not hard to know that R. 6 is not frozen (hell, I don't even know if anyone is working on it), will not be commercially available until R. 5 is frozen, then has to go through all kinds of testing before it can be commercially implemented. We're talking years here. Something has escaped your keen observation. Without standards in place, no one is going to implement OFDM in any commercial applications.
