re: Ooops! Sorry! ========== No - I'm sorry. I regret the slight. I often write something off the cuff - then after reading - quickly return and tone it down. My computer crashed after the post, and my obsessive editing tendencies were curtailed.

PCSTEL, Silly or Dim? << Ooops! Sorry! I thought this was the SI Moderated Thread. Not the Yahoo thread! >> Please don't feel bad about being called either silly and/or dim by your threadmate. He has placed you in very distinguished company. Verizon CEO Denny Strigl must have been either silly and and/or dim in December when he announced that Verizon Wireless who has long had 1xEV-DO on its roadmap was scrapping its plans to deploy it and noted that although it was a "terrific product" ... " ... [dedicating hard-to-get and expensive spectrum--the lifeblood of any wireless carrier--solely to a data service is not] something sustainable long term. There is a tangible data value today, [but] for consumers, that value isn't the high falutin things you read and hear about, it's actually (text messaging) and downloadable applications." - Dennis Strigl, Dec 11, 2002 - Another silly individual with obvious diminished capacity according to your distinguished threadmate's standards is obviously Sprint PCS CTO, Oliver Valente who built out Sprint PCSs all digital network from scratch commencing in late 1995 and who has stated publicly from day one that it was highly unlikely that Sprint PCS would ever implement 1xEV-DO because it would require dedicating wireless voice capacity to data and instead would wait for 1xEV-DV to be available. Oliver is of course currently anxiously waiting for his next network upgrade to CDMA2000 1xRTT Release A which he expected to roll out in H2 03. Of course he is also trying to roll out Release ZERO nationwide so the nationwide PCS Vision network really is nationwide. Silly and dim 2, - Eric -
