Maurice, Malicious slander is not a pretty sight on any forum, not even on Internet. Talk about "lower brain cancer risk" is nothing but ranting. There is not an iota of evidence published in any peer reviewed journal linking use of cellular phones to brain cancer. Regarding the notion of TDMA being "finished off", may I suggest you visit some of the newssites specializing on telecommunications and use "CDMA" as a search word. You'll come up with some fascinating articles that just might give some balance to your postings. I especially recommend "Tired of Waiting for CDMA, Carriers Use Other Technologies" and "PCS Pioneer Schmitt Challenges CDMA" on Interactive News. Nokia introduced their new TDMA/AMPS phone last March and this summer they received a 100 M $ order from ATT. Call waiting, incoming call recognition, short message service, etc, etc. Their new Nokia 9000 model offers a mobile phone, e-mail, fax and www services all in one phone starting next week here in Europe. Just what has CDMA to offer to people who get all these services from their TDMA phones? To people who can travel from Finland to China, from England to Australia, from Washington DC to Italy and use the same phone in all these places? A lot of promises about the next decade. Yours truly, Tero Kuittinen

Maurice, you slanderous sheepherder, good to see you roasted and toasted by someone as far away as Helsinki. May be you should have stuck with politics. Regarding those disclaimers, they are safeharbor statements that are included in just about every press release these days. I am puzzled that you guys even make an issue out of it. Go to any company's websites and look at full press releases of any substance, such as quarterly reports. They all have the boiler plate paragraph. As far as CDMA is concern, why is there still so much debate on the technology? Both TDMA/GSM and CDMA are here to stay. Too much money have been spend on both camps for one to wipe out the other. Looking forward, the business and marketing side is going to take over. The pie is so big that there is plenty for both technologies. The competition is for both existing areas and future developments. It appears that there is no clear winner at this time. China, India etc. are going both ways. It is unlikely that GSM would dominate any other region in the world the way they dominate Europe. QCOM is so small, relative to all the other big boys, that they are bound to get a much bigger slice of the pie. Chris, appreciate a lot of your good technical information. I guess the only thing that concerns me as an investor is if CDMA completely fail somewhere and they have to switch back to GSM. Do you see that as a possibility? Ramsey

Maurice Ericsson's web page can provide you with some interesting reading on GSM/TDMA. It will inform you of what the technology can do right now and what is planned for the future. It also provides amount of users as well as projections for the future. If you need the site address let me know. I would like to read IPO on Nextwave . Could you provide me the address were it can be down loaded ? Jim

The warning is standard business practice in the US. Anyone who doesn't use them is loco.

Hi Mq. I'm just cerfing around the old haunts and bumped into that: <When combined with Globalstar, geolocation will increase safety and security while making navigation straightforward. [I just made that up too].> You might be interested to know that Globalstar has brought out SPOT which is a position location, tracking, and messaging device so that people [emergency services, family, businesses] can see where the device is and send help if needed. It has taken from 1996 to 2007 to get it going. 11 years!! The cyberspace revolution happens slowly. It took a heck of a long time for GSM to be exceeded by CDMA too and in fact GSM is still more prolific though the CDMA cyberspace world is rapidly growing, at last. On brain cancer, despite many studies, there has still not been any risk proven so if there is any risk, it has been proven to be below a fairly low threshold. People take huge numbers of risks above that threshold such as walking down a sunny street [melanoma], eating an ice cream [heart and other health risks] and smoking a cigarette [coffin nails] then driving a car home.
