Clark, my earlier post (a day or so ago) regarding was not so much aimed at movie house transmission but things such as light controls, where there are a lot of places to which the transmission is made--for example in one apartment complex there could be 100 different controls requiring the signal. Multiply that times thousands of buildings and all kinds of computerized control signals for different kinds of devices in a single city and it seems to me that is the kind of circumstance where cdma would be the best choice. Does this sound right?

All... I have started a list of potential wireless data applications
beyond those that wK will focus on. As you can see, thinking outside

couple of far out ideas.

Clark - As you probably know Terayon is already using some version of CDMA for cable modems and Cisco owns a big chunk of them. I never understood why QCOM wasn't doing this. Now I find out that they were! Tom
