JScurci, Your exactly right as to what the article suggests. Motorola head quarters is very close to Chicago and it's quite common to see articles in the Trib relating to Mot. I was suprised to see the reporter relied on the comments of Peter Jubber of Renaissance Worldwide .

JScurci: ERICY has no technical, legal, moral, ethical, or creative role with "anything CDMA". I disagree, although I feel as though your statement was more for "show", here is a response. Although Ericsson was not the first company to commercially market CDMA, they are doing research on commercial applications of CDMA technology. In order to justify their Research and Development, Ericsson applies for patents. And, on this and other threads, I have shown/proven that Ericsson, does indeed, have patents that cover CDMA. dave

John, I guess 3G-W-CDMA-VW-SETI-UMTS didn't cut it! I tried cutting the UMTS out, but still it didn't 'take'. WD40 is taking somebody's good name and using it in vain. WD40 is a reputable product. But to convey the same idea, how about VW40, abbreviated from VapourWear40. That way we retain the snake oil connotation, while showing the King has no clothes and still being succinct. I guess Volkswagen would feel the VW is unfair, but then, the VW started at the time of the real Nazis and we are now dealing with the GSM Nazis. Covers the lies, propaganda, confiscation of private property, statism and the great collective "We, the telecommunications industry, cannot let one company stand in the way of VW40" concepts nicely. VW40! Mqurice PS: Re the next post, thanks Engineer. Now THAT's not vapourwear. And silly Rajala and Tero thought that Australia would be GSM forever. People said it's too hard to take over from GSM. Well, here it comes. Telstra too is going cdmaOne in Oz. New Zealand will soon follow. Telstra wants to be big here. GSM, TDMA and analog are all going to have some real competition here soon. Then Globalstar will come over the top and we'll have national cdmaOne coverage, even for deer stalkers and trout fishermen in lonely valleys and distant rivers, for yachties and pilots calling "Mayday" so long drawn out search and rescue efforts are a thing of the past. My little QCP820 is sending out the secret signals. It's working! Meanwhile, Peter Hillary [Edmund Hillary's son] is in Antarctica, heading for the South Pole to demonstrate that you can use it anywhere. So next time you are heading off to the South Pole, make sure you pack an Iridium phone. Or the North Pole if going to work for Santa. Maurice@cdmacellular.co.nz [for secret email signals too!]
