Greg: You didn't include this part in your excerpt of the article: "the fallout of Motorola's setback with PrimeCo could be huge, since it has $3.5 billion in orders to supply two carriers in the Japanese market with the same kind of gear as PrimeCo was getting." Ouch!

>> "The Motorola gear uses a new digital software scheme called CDMA to transmit and route calls in digital code. The CDMA transmission is considered state of the art and one to which number carriers have been moving. But executives said PrimeCo had suffered more than 100 Network failures in the last year before moving to pull the plug on Motorola." Isn't this typical! If you did not know better, and most readers will not, you would think the article implies that CDMA is no good!
