Michael, please tell this Prudential analyst to send this report to China and tell them to wake up and smell all the money they will save and earn, by going to code division multiple access technology. the Prudential analyst that did this report should tell the Chinese Ministry of Telecommunications to scrap their legacy global systems mobile and make some real money with QUALCOMM technology.

Michael [Clone3], that looks like an invitation to me to write a long exposition on how capacity can be increased in cdmaOne networks. As Klein Gilhousen said last year [I copied his comments to here], you can do frequency reuse, you can increase sectors, you can put in more gizzards, you can put in more cell sites, you can use adaptive antennae arrays, you can use superconductor filters. Yes, BUT the cheapest and most effective and most profitable and most customer happy making is to use a p-----g plan which allows Babe to set the charges. Those who choose the plan get free minutes when decibels are really low and they pay more as decibels increase. If they want to talk when the cells are suffocating, handset power is turned right up, calls are dropping and busy signals abound, then charge them BIG HEAPS. Prudential is lumbering off in that direction. How absurd to be running systems at 10% of capacity. Many people can defer calls to a cheaper time. Reward them. Sting the determinedly busy time callers. All it needs is a bit of software and a "CURRENT PRICE IS...." display on the handset. With GSM and cdmaOne call minute costs less than 1 cent per minute, there is a lot of room for GSM to beat cdmaOne still, if the cdmaOne systems aren't run effectively, rewarding the low decibel users. Gregg, do you think QUALCOMM is doing anything about this, or will Motorola come charging out of the bushes and lay waste to QUALCOMM's business with such a handset? I am VERY afraid of that!
