Jay, let me see if I can explain it in an easier way, remembering that this is all about being mobile, not at home or in the office at the end of a fibre or high speed wireless line of sight link.
When you are out and about, it's like being on a chimp in a forest. It's fun rampaging around the trees chasing girls, arguing with the chief over who gets to eat the first ripe fruit and trying to avoid hungry felines. But in the distance is the city, with the bright lights, cash flow and benefits of the modern world.
What CDMA does is deliver the modern world to you, quickly and cheaply. In an instant, you can be right there in the big smoke. When you are there, you turn from a chimp, knowing nothing but the bush, into a Google powered cyberspacoid. You can't play Unreal Tournament on GSM.
CDMA is the freeway to the place where people want to be and enables them to use that panoply of pleasures and powers available to cyberspacoids. QUALCOMM is the toll gate to that world. There's no way around the toll gate, though Flarion hopes to be a way.
To explain it in a different way:
Cyberspace is like the nerves leading to your brain. QUALCOMM has a toll gate on your optic nerves, your aural nerves, your taste and smell nerves, and your spinal chord. Cyberspace is the reality beyond your body. Reality is the beach, the waves rolling in, the beauty, the friends, the crayfish, camembert and claret, the sensuous love of a spouse, the mall, the movie, the money.
Without your nerves, you can't participate in that reality, but would live in a dark, soundless, odourless, tasteless, immobile world with nothing to touch and no body to move = Helen Keller without ANY senses.
You would still exist, but in a very peculiar world of nothing. No externality. Goedel and his self-referential theorems nl.ijs.si would have something to say about that. You would be a brain in a jar. Psychologists have no doubt done studies on what such brains do all day. It's not for me! I suspect it's not all good, though a lot of the hassles of life would be avoided - no traffic jams, mosquito bites, hunger, telephones ringing, and 1000 SI posts to read.
CDMA enables your brain to connect to the external world. QUALCOMM invented that technology and has put a toll gate on it. You have a choice - stay as you are or pay up!
I think everyone on Earth, and a lot of machines and other things, like sheep and cows, will be hooked up to cyberspace via CDMA. Machines record and send data and react without human intervention. Stock needs to be located and managed and even controlled [say by little electric shocks to get them moving in the right direction].
Heck, governments might decide people are like stock and need to have CDMA imbedded to manage them and get them doing the right thing at the right time and to see where they are, what they are doing, and control it. You might be buying CDMA against your will! China's government would really be able to keep people orderly. They could use a Beijing based supercomputer to run the show. QUALCOMM can sell them the means to do it.
QUALCOMM is like the railway in Japan - it delivers people to where they want to be, quickly, safely and cheaply. Try catching a taxi from Tokyo to Hiroshima and see how long it takes and how much it costs. Then try Shinkansen. The Yamanote line delivers umpty swarms of people around Tokyo, quickly, safely and cheaply, albeit somewhat crowded at times. QUALCOMM owns those railways.
I'm sure you can now see what CDMA does. Yes?
If not, I surely shouldn't be a teacher, or lecturer about something! My students would all fail and I would be fired. The students would say they had no idea what I was going on about and walk out.
CDMA allows you to get into cyberspace, while out and about. There's so much more to do in cyberspace than just talk, whether it's via VoIP or circuits. But even talking is cheaper and better via CDMA.
You will buy CDMA, but perhaps you will take longer than most to see the benefits, but eventually, you'll join the mob. I suspect eventually will be about Xmas.
Your Vonage phone won't work without having a link to cyberspace. That mobile link will be CDMA. I suppose at the moment it's via GPRS. Your bill will be huge and your speed will be slow. Some places you might be able to use WiFi.
I don't get it that you don't get it. I suspect you are preferring not to get it and are enjoying baiting me.
