Ben, Thanks for the Seybold article Re: Nextwave. It is interesting that Nextwave advanced 29% (130K shares traded for the day) during the last 30 minutes of trading on Friday. I received Andy’s email 6 minutes before the market closed. The NASCAR market is quite large- “market of tens of millions NASCAR race fans,”

News & Analysis 4Mobility - 28 February 2003 Re: Palm Releases Handheld Before Server Software Is In Place << know of two software developers (Good Technology and Sproqit) that are developing fantastic client/server software for the Palm platform.>> I debated mentioning this because it’s off topic but I am using the new Good Tech G100 wireless handheld. The device is a RIM/Blackberry type device that has been in the news quite a bit because of patent disputes between Good Tech and RIM. good.com I have only had the device for a short time (a few days ) but I find it better than the RIM 957 that it was designed to compete with. The beauty of this device is that it totally integrates with the MS exchange and allows us to synch email (true push), calendar, contacts, tasks and notes...(The device does not even come with a cradle..Yeah!!) All this on the slow poke Mobitex 900MHz network. Those of you who carry blackberry's understand what the device is designed to do, keep you in touch 24/7. The goodlink os (that you can run on a RIM 957) takes it a step further by eliminating the need for a cradle, everything synchs over the air all the time....) RIM no longer has a lock on the corporate email world. Good Tech does not really want to get into the hardware business (just my opinion) and once their software runs on palm and pocketpc...look out..... I look forward to the day I can buy a PocketPC enabled device with a thumb keyboard, running goodlink on a 1x Network.... Killer app imho....just ask RIM........ Drew

Interesting, I find no information about the NASCAR or their website nextwavetel.com I was unaware that they had in fact built out a 1X EV-DO system, can not verify on the website or on any news releases. Anyone have a further update on this? I see a couple of blurbs about NASCAR with Digital Orchid but none involving next wave on their site digitalorchid.com FWIW, Digital Orchid is located in San Diego and its founder has Q blood in his veins.

Three launches 3G services - but without handsets By Mary Fagan (Filed: 02/03/2003) Three, the first of the mobile telecoms operators to bring third generation services to the UK, is to "launch" its service tomorrow without any handsets. In a deeply embarrassing start for the company, formerly known as Hutchison, customers will be able to order handsets from high street outlets but will be forced to wait for four or even six weeks for delivery. The problem will be seized on by critics of 3G who say the services, which include fast internet access and interactive data services on the move, have been over-hyped. Orange and mmo2 are not expected to launch 3G services in the UK until the second half of next year. While Vodafone will enter the market earlier, it is also unlikely to launch until 2004. Three's expected launch date of 03/03/03 was already months later than had been originally planned. The company, which is launching in six European countries, had set itself a target of gaining 2m customers by the end of 2003. It had also made a great play of stealing a march on its more established rivals. According to one City analyst: "Nine months ago people were excited about Three. Now it's hard to see how they will make the 2m target. This is more of an unveiling than the launch people had been hoping for." Three is aiming for the high end of the mobile market with handsets costing between £400 and £450. The company's network is thought to directly cover only around half the UK population. However, Three provides full coverage through a "roaming" agreement which allows customers to use the O2 network while the company completes its build-out. The industry is also braced this week for news of further cutbacks from Orange, now owned by France Telecom, when it announces its results on Wednesday. The mobile company has been asked by its heavily indebted parent to find savings of between Eu5bn and Eu7bn over the next three years. Orange, which was once the most dynamic of the UK mobile operators, has already said that it will rein back on geographic expansion and delay its 3G rollout. Analysts expect capital spending this year to be slashed to just two-thirds of the level in 2002. Orange is also expected to make cut backs on marketing. "Everyone now talks about Orange in the same breath as France Telecom and quite rightly so. In contrast, Vodafone has been out there with the 'Live' product and will be driving to improve market share in all its key markets," one said. There is also speculation that Orange will sell or close its Dutch or Danish businesses, which have relatively weak market positions. Graham Howe, the deputy chief executive who is leaving the company after being passed over for the top job, is said to have been the main opponent to geographic retrenchment. money.telegraph.co.uk ========== Without really having handsets - the batteries won't drain nearly as fast - dramatically improving standby. And they'll actually work rather well - provided they don't exist. It's not the absence of handsets - but their pending arrival - that marks the death of 3.
