nwc.com For those who have tried to get to the old Frezza forum, there it is. You can change the 1096 to 1196 to get different months, but it doesn't seem to work on 0896. Here is a sample of Bill Frezza, who hasn't been dragged out for a flogging for a day or two. He offered $500 if 800MHz cdmaOne outnumbered TDMA 800MHz anytime. ------------------------------------------------------------------ CDMA Forum - Comments 10/1-10/17 On Tue Oct 1 08:30:17 1996, Bill Frezza , from Network Computing , wrote: Ira - I interviewed Craig Farrill in the spring and have not spoken to him since he was kicked upstairs. My notes show quite clearly that the two biggest problems Airtouch was having with CDMA deployment in LA were power balancing and interference with 800 MHz AMPS, I believe what you are calling intermodulation. Bell Atlantic reports the same problems, recently informing me that they were temporarily turning off the CDMA sites in Bucks county so they could rebalance the network in preparation for the next phase of expansion (pre-commercial expansion, I might add). To my knowledge, neither of these problems have gone away, nor will they, which is why CDMA at 800 MHz will be a failure. If you are so sure it will be a success, how about gracing us with a forecast of how many 800 MHz paying CDMA customers we are likely to see before year end? How about by July 1 of 1997? When will we have more CDMA 800 MHz users than TDMA 800 MHz users? You write down some numbers and I'll bet you $500 that you're wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I quite like the conservative 10K approach of QUALCOMM. I just hope we've seen the end of absurd quality faults like breaking plastic, bad belt clips and wonky connectors and keypads. Mqurice PS: Further to crude oil price and greenhouse effect. Plants have chlorophyll to convert CO2 to plant fibre when pinged by ultraviolet light and they give out oxygen in the process. The greenhouse effect is good. Plants and crops will be growing flat out thanks to the increased CO2 levels. Glasshouse operators use natural gas to increase CO2 and temperatures to improve production. A mini greenhouse effect. All the oil back in the ecosphere is going to make food cheaper and timber grow faster and therefore be cheaper. Plants love ultraviolet light and CO2. That's why they all try to crowd each other out and grow taller than the others. Which means Alan Green$pan will be able to print more money, without causing inflation, which is a tax on people around the world who hold US$. He therefore can capture the price reductions which would otherwise occur in food and other crops. Boy the Treasury money printers are onto the biggest racket in human history. If you follow the logic slowly it will all make sense! And it looks as though Iraq isn't going to be allowed to join the oil glut any time soon. Too many oil interests opposing that.
