qdog, can't really let the weekend go by without some SEA stories. Looks like Philipines may be facing a bigger crisis sooner than many, especially in the labor front. Foreign workers are being sent home from all the ailing economies and the Philipines government does not have any money to even help these workers come home, not to mention finding them a job in the Philipines. Hope it does not impact QCOM's contract too much. Interesting concept surfaced in HK, suggesting the HK government sell puts instead of raise interest rates to defend the peg. This will be a big show of force and drive the speculators to cover. Overall picture still looks bad. May be QCOM should step up and do some expansion. They can exploit poor overseas to enrich us shareholders, instead of having to pay exorbernant fees here for the temps. Ramsey

qdog, Have you ever heard of this cable headend technology? Another point in CDMA's favor was its cable microcell integrator/headend interface converter (CMI/HIC) capabilities. CMI/HIC, which is supported only by CDMA, enables CATV operators owning a wireless license to deploy remote antennae on their cable strands for routing signals back to the cell site. The cell site, in turn, provides the RF for that antenna driver. Thus, a wireless carrier can achieve wide coverage simply by deploying a relatively inexpensive series of remote antennae on an existing cable system. For Centennial, this was an intelligent and cost-effective method for improving our reach. It is mentioned in this article "Why Centential Chose CDMA". americasnetwork.com I like four legged critters too, especially the ones that stay off the couch.
