Frederick,

TDMA is fine, if you are not capacity constrained. That's why the industry is heading to CDMA (eventually).

Check out the problems CDMA is having.

I an mot aware of any problems CDMA has that other technologies don't have. CDMA is supposed to be actually better at soft handoff, when you drive from one cell area to another, you can do so without dropping the call.

Look at what chip, memory and other advances did to this crappola we call Windows.

Don't sell the technologists short, especially when there's money around.

I know what you mean. You know how you can recognize pioneers. <g>

Joe

Frederick,

CDMA or TDMA both blow analog away. And if you
check a little history, you'll see that many large
companies have paid 100+ per POP for analog (licenses
only, not including a single tower). Nextel is the
only national wireless company that is not already
owned by a huge company. Every small wireless co.
in America (+ there are a ton) has to pay huge $$$
in roaming fees.....

Mike
