Hi Mike: The primary reason why the likes of TGNT and WCII are unlikely to use CDMA is that the broadband traffic is primarily data oriented and bursty. The multiple access schemes which work best for this traffic involve statistical multiplexing (ie. stations needing to transmit contend for available time slots). In other words, broadband wireless multiple access protocols are probably closer to Ethernet type protocols (CSMA/CD) than wireless telephony protocols. Best regards, Bernard Levy
