FLASH-OFDM will never see the light of day? Perhaps,perhaps not, irrespective of Intel`s maneuvers to stall/siderail 802.20, which parenthetically is its only interest in that standard.Is it still to be installed in Finland, where it was chosen by licensees over CDMA450? Has Sprint committed to WiMAX, and definitively decided to not use FLASH-OFDM? Are you so certain it is DOA, and Intel can permanently thwart the 802.20 standard? Are you sure 802.16(e) can be built and sold without being subject to damages and/or an injunction from Qualcomm, who has no participation in 802.16(e). Does "no participation" obviate the FRAND licensing requirement for Qualcomm? Can Intel really build any technologically desirable,and commercially viable mobile radio product? How will mobile WiMAX perform in the real world, under commercial loads, and how long will it take to tune and optimize? When will adequate mobile WiMAX spectrum be available worldwide? How much will its infrastructure and devices really cost? Will mobile WiMAX subscriber equipment ever achieve economies of scale? Will it be a niche technology? Apparently you have all the answers. We`ll see.

NextWave Wireless LLC Rob, (Willie, Cool Hand, Mr. Morrow, whomsoever) << Perhaps it's time for QUALCOMM to invest in this outfit? >> ROFLMAO! Again? Last time they did that a few of their executives and board members narrowly escaped federal indictments. << FLASH-OFDM will never see the light of day >> Buy em. Kill em. Been there, done that. Shame. The Nazarian nephew who still heads them had a natural flare for sales and marketing which very few people at QUALCOMM had and if he'd stayed with them he probably would have insisted on building a professional sales and marketing organization and technology adoption of CDMA2000 would likely have been less abysmal than what it has been as a result. Interesting to see that Rick Kornfeld has rejoined them as Chief Strategy Officer. I wondered where he settled after TI canned him. Rick is ex-Linkabit, ex-QUALCOMM (badge #20 or so), ex-Nextwave, ex-Dot Wireless, ex-TI by virtue of the DOT acquisition, ex-Staccato. - Eric -
