Clark, Although the Nokia minicells don't improve the air interface capacity, subscribers don't care. They just see a cost per minute. If the cost is lowered a lot, they won't care how it happened, so this is good for GSM. But their problem is that the exact same picocell approach is even more effective for cdmaOne and QUALCOMM won't have stopped moving. They'll have little base stations which can be sprinkled from aircraft over a city. With cheap electronics and miniaturisation, GSM is going to lose even more in this competition than it does in the Town Planned Tower Cellsites with big bolts, steel columns, structural and earthwork costs, cables and general War of the Worlds appearance. All future advantages lean the CDMA way. Mqurice

Clark, Thanx for the confirmation of increased network capacity. It was nice of Nokia to increase in the value of the Q's Newbury equipment. At least that is what I thought during my read. However, I am never quite sure if my neurons are interpreting this stuff correctly. On that front, I recently came across this broken English site. iijnet.or.jp These folks appear to be working on w-cdma chips with NTT. They mention Qualcomm. It's all geek to me. Thought you might find it of some value. My apologies if it's all useless Greek to you. All, This might be a factor in Qualcomm's China Challenge. nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com nf PS All, Don't forget to buy again at $38. I heard Mqurice is considering a double your money back guarantee for his next post. Or was it a double the fun guarantee?
