Can you provide me with a link to some documentation on the voice quality advantages of CDMA over TDMA. I have seen in print the capacity advantages, although even these are far less than original claims, but I have never read or even heard of quality differences. G* supporters often state that the voice delay is imperceptible, mainly because they are supporters. I* representatives, on the other hand claim that the delay is perceptible. Any noticeable delay at all, no matter how short, is a very big deal in this arena. Also, GEO's, where there is a large voice delay, are only about 28,000 miles not 35,000. I* satellites are 421 miles high.
