ot-----Bell Atlantic to buy 1000,000 cdma Motorola phones (why doesn't startac have qcom sticker on it? ) BEDMINSTER, N.J., May 26 (Reuters) - Local telephone company Bell Atlantic Corp. said Wednesday it would buy 1 million wireless phones from Motorola Inc. Bell Atlantic said in a statement that it was making the purchase to meet increasing demand for its Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) digital service.

Bell Atlantic said it expected to keep adding digital subscribers ''at a fast rate'' through the remainder of the year.

Wireless data market; WAP: My own sense (maybe I'm just pie-eyed) is that the wireless data market will be far broader than just professionals and high-end users, depending on where the carriers and providers fine-tune the price points and subscription charges for basic service and web/e-mail access. As the net becomes more of a staple in our daily lives and as an engine of commerce, why wouldn't the average individual (whoever he or she may be) be inclined to order from the GAP, collect e-mail from her son, or check out the Naz on the move. Obviously this depends on the protocols and web-access and web-browsing features that are capable of being made "mobile", but that technology will come just as voice-activated messaging will be perfected. jmho On another topic, does anyone, Clark, Walt, engineer, straighlife or valueman, the usual suspects, have any sense of what the WAP crowd and Symbian thugs harmonization of their little technology for Psion's OS imply for CDMA in terms of interfaces, spectrum, chip rates or otherwise. Any thoughts, much appreciated. Regards. Steven
