Cdma Leads> April 5, 1999 Analysts give CDMA biggest PCS footprint WASHINGTON—Personal communications services 1900 MHz networks using Code Division Multiple Access technology lead in terms of radio-frequency footprint, according statistics released by The Strategis Group. As of March, CDMA systems covered 10.4 percent of the U.S. geography, followed by Global System for Mobile communications systems with 7.3 percent coverage and Time Division Multiple Access PCS systems, which cover 6.2 percent of the country's geography, said Strategis. ‘‘Coverage is a key factor driving competition and consumer satisfaction,'' said Elliott Hamilton, senior vice president for North American Telecom at Washington, D.C.-based Strategis. ‘‘Geography footprint only tells half of the story. ‘‘Another important indicator is population coverage,'' continued Hamilton. ‘‘CDMA leads here as well, although TDMA and GSM have similar population coverage.''

Sven speaks (but out of which hole?)> THE INDEPENDENT SOURCE FOR WIRELESS INDUSTRY NEWS April 08, 1999 April 8, 1999 Ericsson CEO says no further changes on W-CDMA STOCKHOLM, Sweden—L.M. Ericsson Chief Executive Officer Sven-Christer Nilsson today said Ericsson remains committed to wideband Code Division Multiple Access as the leading global third-generation standard for new spectrum with no further changes to the recommended European and Japanese W-CDMA standards to avoid further delays. Ericsson purchased Qualcomm's cdmaOne infrastructure division late last month and entered into a royalty bearing license agreement for all CDMA-based technologies, including cdmaOne and cdma2000 technologies. Ericsson said it will continue to advocate strongly the co-existence of two groupings of technologies for the next-generation of mobile phone systems: EDGE, as per Europe and the Universal Wireless Communications Consortium, and CDMA. Ericsson said the CDMA grouping accommodates three optional modes: Frequency Division Duplex direct-spread CDMA, as per Europe and Japan, with a chip rate of 4.096/3.84 Megachips per second according to global operators' harmonized proposal; multicarrier cdma2000 as per the Telecommunications Industry Association, with a chip rate of 3.68 Mcps; and Time Division Duplex as per Europe, harmonized with China's TD-SCDMA proposal.

Secretary Daley and his counterpart signed an agreement for the first time to allow foreign commercial deployment of the CDMA technology It would be very interesting to know how much money, directly and indirectly, came from Q and people with money in Q, and went to the Clinton's and the Democratic party the last 6 years. If you "follow the money" after the Clinton's leave office, I am sure you will see some rich payoffs to them and the Democrats on this issue. I don't blame Q, or even in a way, the Clinton's and the Political Party involved. If you need trade help from the Gov, you will have to pay for it. It is part of the system.
