Clark: As you correctly inferred, the quote was taken from Marc Cabi's note regarding the formation of WirelessKnowledge. You know, I am convinced that if Qualcomm announced a cure for AIDS, Marc Cabi would immediately vilify the company for contributing to overpopulation and world hunger. The positive aspect to this most recent piece of analytical drivel is that his negative agenda has never been more blatantly obvious. Best regards, Gregg

Mot Leads In CDMA Networks> Finance Home - Yahoo! Top:Business and Finance:Stocks:Technology:Communications Equipment:QCOM (QUALCOMM, Inc.) Help - Add to My Yahoo! - Sign Out Motorola is World Leader Among Commercial CDMA Network Pro by: emhaller (31/M/Orange, CA) 11055 of 11055 Monday November 16, 4:06 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release Motorola is World Leader Among Commercial CDMA Network Providers Cahners In-Stat Group Analysis Shows CDMA Pioneer Also has Broadest International Reach SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16, 1998--Motorola, Inc.'s Cellular Infrastructure Group (CIG) is the leading international provider of commercial CDMA digital cellular networks, according to a new study of the wireless marketplace released today by the Cahners In-Stat Group, a leading wireless industry research and consulting firm. The Cahners In-Stat Group analysis shows Motorola CIG with a total of 31 commercial system awards internationally, compared to Lucent, 17; Qualcomm with 16; Nortel, 10; and Samsung, four. In terms of an international footprint, Motorola CIG also is the industry leader, with a commercial CDMA network presence in 16 countries outside of the U.S. By comparison, Cahners In-Stat Group placed Qualcomm second in the international marketplace with commercial system awards in 12 countries. Nortel has deployed systems in seven countries, followed by Lucent in six, and Samsung in three countries. The Cahners In-Stat Group analysis is based on company announcements made during 1997 through year-to-date 1998 and includes awards for digital cellular, Personal Communications Service and wireless local loop. Ray Jodoin, senior analyst with Cahners In-Stat Group's Wireless Service, stated that ''Not only did Motorola penetrate the largest number of countries on a worldwide basis, but they also maintained a 41.9% share of the total worldwide revenue. This is a notable accomplishment in view of the strength of their competition.'' Gene Delaney, senior vice president and general manager of Motorola CIG, said ''Cahners In-Stat Group is continuously providing the cellular industry with accurate and up-to-date facts and figures. We are very happy to be recognized by a reliable research and consulting group -- and our customers -- as a leader in the deployment of CDMA systems worldwide.'' The world's first CDMA network was installed by Motorola CIG in Hong Kong and began commercial operation in September 1995. Motorola CIG has since launched commercial systems in some of the world's largest cellular markets including Japan, Brazil, India, Israel and Peru. Today, more than 16 million subscribers use CDMA phones worldwide. CDMA is the newest and most advanced of the digital systems, offering high capacity and efficient use of the frequency band. During a mobile phone call CDMA digitizes the voice prior to transmission, then reproduces the original voice signal at the receiving end of the call. CDMA, which produces virtually no static or crossed signals, is especially well suited for transmitting high-quality multi-media services, a requirement for the new third generation systems. Headquartered in Newton, Mass., Cahners In-Stat Group is a high-technology market research firm with comprehensive understanding of computer and convergence, networking, wireless, telecommunications, Internet, enterprise software and semiconductor markets. Offices are also located in Scottsdale, Ariz. and San Jose, Calif. Cahners In-Stat Group, formed by the merger of In-Stat and Business Research Group, is part of Cahners Business Information, the largest publisher of specialized business publications in the United States, and a division of Reed Elsevier.

Tero, Mika & Friends, Just For You> Finance Home - Yahoo! The best products at the best prices Top:Business and Finance:Stocks:Technology:Communications Equipment:ERICY (LM Ericsson Telephone Co.) Help - Add to My Yahoo! - Sign Out FT: "Europe trails US in competition . . ." by: unibitri 4470 of 4472 AFTER OBSERVING ERICY's MARKET BEHAVIOR VIS-A-VIS ETSI, ETC.., THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE IS NO SURPRISE TO ME. COMPETITIVENESS: Europe outpaced by US By Emma Tucker in Brussels http:\\www.ft.com Europe lags behind the US on virtually all measures of competitiveness, according to a report that will make grim reading for EU industry ministers meeting in Brussels today. The report highlights the European Union's inability to create new jobs as quickly as the US and Japan, its poor response to innovation, a lack of risk capital and the high cost of labour. It was written for the European Commission by a consortium of consultants from six EU countries, and will be presented to ministers as part of a general discussion on EU competitiveness. The report concludes that the standard of living in the EU, measured as gross domestic product per capita, is 33 per cent lower than in the US and 13 per cent lower than in Japan. One of the main reasons for this is the EU's failure to create new jobs by moving swiftly into promising new sectors. "Where the US has created jobs in technically advanced industries and transformed itself into a service economy, Europe is lagging behind," the report says. The report forms part of the continuing debate in Europe about how to cut record unemployment, and will strengthen the hand of those arguing for greater flexibility in labour markets and less regulation. "In spite of the single market programme and its effects on competition and liberalisation, Europe still has more restrictions and distortions of competition in service industries than the US," it says. A similar report two years ago provoked a row inside the Commission between its non-interventionist camp, which argued that over-protected labour markets cost Europe jobs, and the opposite camp defending Europe's social model. Europe's poor employment performance is weaker not just in new high-tech industries, but across the board, say the report's authors. "This suggests that Europe's problems lie in the general business environment rather than in the weak performance of individual branches of the economy." A lack of adequate risk capital, essential for high growth, in technology-oriented companies adds to Europe's employment problems. The report argues that the competitive position of such companies in the EU is undermined by inefficiently-priced financial services and restricted access to capital markets. It concludes by saying EU governments should: (1) eliminate institutional and regulatory barriers; (2) ensure continuous upgrading of European industry; (3) move away from targeting individual industries with subsidies or strategic trade arrangements [??ERICY??]; (4) diffuse best practice--the report uncovered huge disparities in labour productivity in the EU.
