Bell Atlantic Statement> By Dec. 31, Bell Atlantic Mobile will have ‘‘100-percent [Code Division Multiple Access] coverage,'' said Seidenberg. ‘‘About 50 percent of our digital subscribers are new to Bell Atlantic,'' he added. BAM's digital subscribers are averaging more than 300 minutes of use per month, triple the MOU of its analog cellular customers. In addition, digital customers are generating double the average revenue per unit of analog users, reports the company. Pricing is the second catalyst for wireless revenue growth, Seidenberg said.

Hi Taichi, Sorry to have tickled your sarcasm bone ;-) No my friend. I am not saying that any things a done deal. (If it were QCOM would be over a hundred and I would be on a long vacation :-) All I am saying is that the Japanese seemed to be indicating (in that and other articles) that they are served best if there is a converged W-CDMA (irrelevant of whether QCOM benefits or not), and that they have a head lead on it. They don't want to be left behind on 3G and repeat the mistakes they made in 2G. Also, >What does this mean to QCOM? IS-95B? CDMA 2000? or the air interface of wireless for ATI, PCS, BAM etc in the USA??? Didn't quite follow your logic here. How does W-CDMA effect CDMAOne/CDMA2000 air interface. What light did the article shed on it.... Thanks -Raj
