hardly anything has changed in the market place these last few months. I guess ericy up 30% and q up 250%+ doesn't indicate anything? Naw, ericy's new cdma license isn't desperately needed by their business. However, my guess is that cdma is predicted to be just a little more popular than it was a few months ago. And most wireless companies won't survive without it. Caxton

It's great being right Mika! Did you notice who won in the Ericy CDMA dispute? Did you notice that CDMA does work and doesn't collapse under load, did you notice NTT is going CDMA and Ericy bought cdmaOne infrastructure and licensing from Q! despite years of denial that they were interested in cdmaOne, do you recall etc, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum....my share prices make me somewhat immune to your fantasy land of Naked King Ericy and VW-40. How are the chip rate negotiations going? That will be the next cave in by the Ericy crowd. Nothing has changed in the market place these last few months? Oh sure Mika! You must be joking. Dream on, Maurice PS: Ooops, looks as though the VW-40 chip rate is going to be changed: 127.0.0.1:3456/SI/download.pl?URL=reply-9303490 I guess I might be right again. We now have to wonder why the chip rate should not be the same as cdmaOne. The hagfish theory is that more data can be sent to subscribers at the higher chip rate. Unfortunately, tests so far don't seem to show that to be true, especially if the variety of frequencies are considered. Also, the synchronisation doesn't seem to be definite. Maybe the good old Reed-Solomon concatenated convoluted VW-40 coding will be ditched in favour of Turbo coding too. It's so nice being right.

Ericsson to deliver equipment for ground segment of Astrolink global satellite system Ericsson has signed in Rome a contract with Telespazio SpA, a Telecom Italia Group company, to develop and deliver major portions of the ground infrastructure network for a new global satellite system, Astrolink. The multimillion USD contract confirms Ericsson's commitment and position as a leading supplier of ground segment infrastructure for satellite networks. Under the contract, Ericsson will supply the Master Network Control Center (MNCC), Regional Network Control Centers (RNCCs) and gateway switching equipment. The contract covers the network's first four regions, Europe, Asia, the Atlantic and North America; and includes wholesale billing services. The Astrolink system will provide high quality, interactive broadband multimedia services for voice, video and IP/datacom primarily to medium and large enterprise customers and network operators via four fixed geostationary satellites. The ground segment infrastructure provides the important gateway between the satellites and terrestrial networks and their end-users. Broadband satellite systems will be an important complement to terrestrial networks for accessing and providing multimedia services. Astrolink commercial service is scheduled to begin in 2003, with full deployment planned for 2004. Ericsson is the leading provider in the new telecoms world, with communications solutions that combine telecom and datacom technologies with freedom of mobility for the user.
