<200 million more people are waiting for your CDMA technology. Although I think they better figure out how to get clean water and decent housing, first!> While it's true that good drinking water is vital, people value communication very highly. Once a very basic house is acquired, communication comes next, before saving for a bigger and better house. Slums in India have tv aerials on top and cellphones inside. The hutongs of Beijing are suffused with outgoing CDMA signals. Being deaf and blind is very undesirable. People would rather be able to see and hear than have a flasher house and huge supplies of water for swimming pools. Being limited to seeing and hearing without mobile cyberspace is still considered normal by a lot of people, but young people who have grown up with cellphones treat them like an extension of their bodies. Which they are. That trend will accelerate as 3G services gain ground. Being without a cyberphone would be like being stuck on a remote island in the middle of the ocean. Some might like it, but most won't. Mobile cyberspace is another world-shrinking and integrating technology, led by QUALCOMM. It's an unstoppable geopolitical trend, shrinking the world to a village. Political systems will have to adapt. Mqurice PS: I'm glad you liked my scientific analysis of why women are not the same as men [in regard to maths and educational needs].
