Clark- They could bring ads to the public extolling out the properties of soft hand-off (fewer dropped calls- consumers tend to notice dropped calls) implicit in CDMA. ALSO- Computer Chronicles, on PBS, did a show on PDAs this week; big segments on wireless Knowledge and the pdq AND a demonstration of the pdq at work. Fabulous!! ....................................................... Russia To Continue Espionage Probe LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) - The Russian government has decided to continue its espionage investigation of a man arrested and charged with spying while working in Russia, his lawyer says. A State Department spokesman said the agency has learned from the Russian prosecutor that the investigation will be extended for another four months, said lawyer Kim Roberts. ''This means that Richard Bliss continues to be classified as a spy and this matter is still hanging over his head,'' Roberts said. Bliss said Friday his disappointment was tempered because he had not expected the charges to be dropped. If convicted, he faces 20 years in jail. Bliss, 30, was arrested and charged with spying a year ago while installing a cellular telephone system in Rostov-on-Don, a city about 600 miles south of Moscow. He was an employee of San Diego-based Qualcomm Inc. (Nasdaq:QCOM - news) at the time, but has since quit the company and sued, alleging that Qualcomm knowingly sent him to Russia with illegal satellite equipment. Russian authorities said he took land surveys of restricted sites using illegal satellite receivers he brought into the country without customs clearance. He was jailed for 12 days before the State Department pressured the Russian government for his release last Christmas.
