Mr. Gilder - I am at "wit's end" trying to figure out how to get Forbes "Digital Tool" to realize that they seem to have been "hoodwinked" by the anti-(Qualcomm)CDMA "lobby" (in the recent articles about wireless stuff). (What follows is my "crybaby" post from the Qualcomm thread). Message 5521081 To: JMD (13873 ) From: Jon Koplik Monday, Aug 17 1998 9:33PM ET Reply # of 13935 To all - I have a "sneaking" suspicion that the reason we have not heard from Gregg Powers for at least a few hours is -- he is in contact with Qualcomm Investor Relations regarding drafting a "de-bunking" of that astoundingly biased and inaccurate piece in Forbes "Digital Tool." forbes.com forbes.com forbes.com (One thing that the Forbes piece proves is that the various people who write stuff at Forbes are clearly not being edited or proof-read by others within the Forbes team who have expertise in a certain area). (Or, to put it plainly, I think George Gilder would have told the writer of that article to go "jump in a lake" (or whatever) just as rapidly as any of us). I did send Forbes Digital Tool an e-mail, saying I thought there were numerous factual errors in the article, but that I would leave it up to all of you electrical engineers out there to straighten them out. (But, I did say, if everyone thinks that someone else will do the "straightening out," and therefore no one actually spends the time to do it, then they (Forbes) should contact me). So far, I have received no reply. The various electrical engineers have received (more or less) "form" letters, with no indication that Forbes Digital Tool will do further research into the story's details. Would appreciate any thoughts or input that you may have. Jon Koplik (Forbes subscriber since 1976).
