George, Looking forward to playing with PdQ phone when eventually available in West Texas! What are your thoughts on Nextel's product? TDMA, I think; but seems great for a closely knit organization's wide network. The Motorola phone they use is pretty cool, also! Is it for a niche market? Enjoying GBLX's little ride, ST

To George Gilder: Appreciate summary rundown of your evaluation of "last mile" wireless data approaches. One question. How about satellite for the last mile in addition? Not yet, but within a couple of years, Loral could be one of the ways to bridge the last mile, no? As always, respect. Chaz

George, what's the significance of this announcement from ATML. SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 11, 1999-- Atmel Corporation (Nasdaq:ATML - news) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Temic Semiconductors, has introduced the first 3-volt Silicon Germanium (SiGe) power amplifier TST0912 for mobile phones based on the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM). Using SiGe technology, the power amplifier exhibits the best tradeoff of power, efficiency, size and cost available today. The TST0912 is designed for single-band operation in the 900-MHz frequency range (GSM 900). SiGe technology provides the best price-performance ratio available. The 3-volt operation supplies enable handset designers to utilize single-cell Lithium-Ion or 3-cell Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery technologies for smaller and lighter handsets. Since SiGe does not require negative supply voltage as needed by competing devices using Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) technology, both system and production costs can be reduced. Thanks! Richard

HP steams ahead on Java See news.com for today's news about HP and "Mauve" which is designed to break Java free from SUNW's proprietary grasp. Good for Java, but once again raises the question of how is Java going to materially contribute to SUNW's bottom line? AT&T invented C and UNIX and it hardly rated a footnote on T's balance sheet. Looks like the same will be said of SUNW and Java in future years. Without control of Java, SUNW is just another commodity provider of computing cycles as far as telecosm analysis goes, no?

George, Are you more amused or disturbed by Vice President Gore's claim on CNN that "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."
