I understand your bitterness. But, it does nothing to change fact: CDG is here and now. 4G is entering the lab. The power draws of 802.11b and PAPR problem and massive DSP MIPS needed for OFDM receivers marginalizing its use in portable applications are as obvious as the nose on your face, yet you hope we will continue to share your faith a breakthrough is forthcoming. That's great that you have faith in the IEEE. But, it lends you no credibility when at this moment, all you have to offer are competing quasi-proprietary standards in development struggling to emerge from the lab in portable form. Qualcomm fans and investors were accused of having blind faith as well. Right now, your hands are empty when it comes to commercially viable replacements for 3G. Time is running out. The question is, will WiMax arrive in time to be universally deployed before EDGE or 1X/DO/DV? Or, will its choice of 2.4, 3.5 and 5.1ghz relegate it to be the next Richochet? But, don't let any of this stop you from sharing with us your "expertise" on colors, poo, and 4G.
