Mike, thanks for your views on the (continuing) GSM/TDMA vs CDMA controversy. My (ancient) experience is with early versions of spread spectrum,(which CDMA is supposed to emulate), which gave us some rather good results in field applications. Those Motorola/Eriksson patent issues... are those the ones having to do with handset design?...or is QCOM actually into some CDMA issues with those two? Appreciate your contributions to an ongoing discussion!! dlo

Mike - I couldn't resist jumping in on this CDMA/GSM discussion. Anyone interested should check out the QCOM thread on SI. The Telephony article is widely discredited by now and QCOM's capacity advantages are well established. (Note stock price moving from 48 to 70 in last month or two will ERICY - largest stand alone proponent of GSM has hovered in the mid-40's or lower). Couldn't resist. Unfortunately I think this is also why VLSI had been doing better than LSI (I don't know what current downgrade is about since CDMA is booming)- they were more in ASICS for phones in general than LSI and certainly caught the CDMA wave while LSI didn't have a product (IS-95 CDMA that is). At least now they do.
