Battles with the Dark Side

c2,

<< The fly in the ointment, recognized long ago by the denizens of this thread and those who battled the Dark Side on the Nokia threads, not to mention a reason why the infra makers, especially Nokia, were salivating at the prosepct of implementing WCDMA: It takes tons and tons of basestations to provide half way decent service using WCDMA. >>

It takes about the same number of base stations as CDMA2000 takes in the IMT-2000 core spectrum -- if there really is such a thing. It takes about the same number as CDMA2000 takes in 850 MHz.

You richly deserve the Qualcommunist Medal of Honor for participation in the battle with the Dark Side on the original Nokia board, or at the very least, a purple heart for emotional trauma suffered. Fortunately most of your profane utterances in the Hall of Shame you built for yourself there have been expunged, even though many of your inanities have not.

Eric is right (although way way Over The Top) that this is more a function of frequency than CDMA1X/WCDMA technology. So if they are flipping to WCDMA in the same spectrum ... .

Don't know what's up with Eric recently. Been making claims not supported by the historical record.
