Cooters, Re: Nextel / Sprint Combo- It would appear that their new CDMA network / handsets would also need to be backwards compatible with their existing handsets. Is that your understanding? I vaguely recall reading something about a commitment from Qualcomm to develop a compatible MSM (iDEN + CDMA). Do you recall that, and if so how is Motorola involved in all of this. Isn’t MOT the sole source for Nextel’s handsets? TIA- Jim

Lots of good insights. NXTL and Sprint have almost all of the MMDS specturm they need to establish the first wireless communications company that could deliver voice and high speed data in a real 3G only network. It would be great to see Sprint punt their wireline networks to raise the cash to further expand the MMDS spectrum for high speed broadband. I want all of the connections in my house to be wired into a central wireless modem. Remember Soma Newtorks - they had a nifty prototype for a WCMDA fixed modem to network all of the appliances in the house. I am surprised the market is not reacting more in favor of QCOM yet. Sold my Verizon to double my Sprint FON position. Bout time to double the QCOM position too.

IMT-2000 MC TDD, NxEV-DV, NxEV-DO Interesting: These 4 Work Items were proposed as 'New Business' at the 3GPP2 TSG-C Plenary held October 18-22, 2004 in Shanghai, China: * A WI proposal for IMT-2000 TDD mobile broadband solution (C00-20041018-014) was presented by Navini Networks. This proposal recommended the use of the ANSI based CDMA-MC (STD) as a baseline to define and add a new TDD option to IMT-2000 CDMA Multi-Carrier air interface. ACTION: This contribution was remanded to WG1 for review of consistency and completeness of the proposal. * Circumstances around IMT-2000 TDD systems in Japan (C00-20041018-015) was presented from ARIB. This contribution was noted as FYI for the TSG. * A WI proposal for Multi-Carrier Support for EV-DV (C00-20041018-017) was presented from ALLTEL, Sprint, LG Telecom, and Ericsson. Multi-Carrier EV-DV (i.e., NxEV-DV) aggregates multiple 1xEV-DV carriers to provide higher rates for packet data services. ACTION: This contribution was remanded to WG1 for review of consistency and completeness of the proposal. * A companion contribution regarding CDMA2000 Multi-Carrier EV-DV (NxEV-DV) Requirements companion document for this WI proposal (C00-20041018-018) was presented from ALLTEL, Sprint, and LG Telecom. ACTION: This contribution was remanded to WG1, WG2, and WG3 for review and comment by the opening Plenary of the December 2004 meeting in HI. NOTE: Contribution C00-20041018-018A was held open at the Plenary level. * A WI proposal for Multi-Carrier Support for EV-DO (C00-20041018-044) was presented from ALLTEL, Sprint, LG Telecom, and Ericsson. Multi-Carrier EV-DO (NxEV-DO) aggregates multiple 1xEV-DO carriers to provide higher rates for packet data services. ACTION: This contribution was remanded to WG1 for review of consistency and completeness of the proposal. - Eric -
