Tom, I think many here write Tero more often than they write their mother. Any idea why PCS is sky rocketing today? PCS is all CDMA and QCOM related, isn't it? I just realized that when QC releases earnings in Jan, it will be in the middle of a Su Vacation. Don't say you have not been warned. Ramsey

In 1991, I travelled to a resort outside Stockholm to give a speech to a gathering of Ericsson execs, including several key technical officers. When I brought up the issue of CDMA, none of them had heard of it. I explained it at length and still there was no sentient response. I do not know whether they understood me or did not consider the issue worth discussing. By 1993, in many speeches before European telcos, I could not mention CDMA without provoking angry denunciations from the GSM forces, charging Qualcomm with felonious violation of the laws of physics, obstruction of justice and perjurious oral prevarication, among other offenses. In scores of speeches before European telcos, I never encountered a single good word about CDMA until 1996 when Alcatel executives expressed their enthusiasm for the system as they encountered it in Globalstar.
