| From: Philip Merryman | 1/12/2014 1:36:35 PM | | | | | | Over a decade ago I posted to an internet forum called Frezza's Forum defending Qualcomm and the CDMA
Industry from attacks. Many old timers here will remember. I am posting today to say my defense of Qualcomm and the CDMA Industry was not just some spontaneous defense on the part of an enthusiastic supporter but a carefully planned strategy to prevent the GSM Industry from blocking Qualcomm's access to the marketplace. My goal was to alert Qualcomm and the CDMA Industry through Frezza's Forum of the danger it faced and I believe I succeeded. The reason I have waited until now to disclose this is because I did not want to appear to diminish or upstage the achievement of the people at Qualcomm in developing CDMA.
I e-mailed Ira Brodsky shortly after my success in defending Qualcomm and the CDMA Industry informing him of my strategy. |

It was over a decade ago, last century, and in fact 17 years ago that Frezza and his GSM Nazis Hagfish slimeballs were attacking the CDMA Mafia with false claims about CDMA capacity, who invented it back in 1890 and whether "ve vill deny them their reqvest".
<I am posting today to say my defense of Qualcomm and the CDMA Industry was not just some spontaneous defense on the part of an enthusiastic supporter but a carefully planned strategy to prevent the GSM Industry from blocking Qualcomm's access to the marketplace.>
Unfortunately, GSM's carefully planned strategy did block CDMA from the market place. Europe was ring-fenced and gone. The Euroserfs were bound to a more expensive technology, with 16% royalties payable to the GSM cartel. Now they are bound to the W-CDMA cartel and the extorquerationate 12% royalty. Soon they will be entangled in the LTE swindle at 12% royalty. George Gilder thought it would be a good idea to do away with royalties on CDMA to help promote it. I explained that the royalty was trivial and irrelevant. Thank goodness Qualcomm did not agree with him. They gave it away too cheaply as it was. Qualcomm left $100 billion on the table just in Europe's 3G spectrum auction.
The great advantage of GSM was the SIM, which unlike in the CDMA realm enabled handset owners to swap service providers. Qualcomm tied subscribers as hostage to the service provider in walled gardens. GSM also got economies of scale ahead of CDMA. The advantage of spectrum efficiency was simply to trivial compared with the 2 year cost of owning and using a phone.
No doubt you helped defend CDMA but I doubt that Frezza's Forum held all that much sway in deciding the outcome of CDMA vs GSM. It was certainly a lot of fun back in the early days of Cyberspace.
It's nice to see you again.

Believe what you want to believe. I am not going to belabor the point.

| To: Philip Merryman who wrote (1807) | 1/13/2014 11:23:31 AM | | From: Maurice Winn | | | | Anyway, thank you for your efforts. It's a shame to see people disappear but apparently there is a whole world "out there" away from SI. Some weird 3D universe apparently. Meanwhile, look at the difference between high speed CDMA these days [and now LTE supersonic speeds] compared with back in the IS-95 days: <| To: Allen Benn who wrote (55) | 2/4/1997 5:58:00 PM | | From: Philip Merryman | of 68 | | | Mr. Benn,
Thank you for your observations. It pleases me to come across people who recognize and support the technical capabilities of IS-95 CDMA. I am generally aware of CDMA's data capabilities such as being able to offer data transmission at ISDN speeds. In fact, Sprint PCS has indicated it will offer ISDN-rate data transmission sometime in the future (for more information, see the Inter@ctive Week article "Sprint Indicates Future Direction" at zdnet.com  ). Another example is NextWave Telecom's subsidiary TELE*code which plans to offer wireless data services to such organizations as utilities for the purposes of meter reading. In addition to these capabilities of IS-95 CDMA, I believe the potentially most important is the possibility of IS-95 CDMA being able to offer data transmission at 384 kbps which would allow for video of some quality. Qualcomm will not discuss its efforts in this area so the only information I have acquired that discusses this is an article by the publication America's Network located at americasnetwork.com and a brief discussion of this area by the CDMA Development Group located at cdg.org If CDMA at 384 kbps is achievable, it would, I believe, open a whole new dimension to its possible applications. |

How do these folks get around using private spectrum in their femto cell implementation? AT&T and Verizon will have to be involved making this not quite a DIY solution. |

The famed career starting call of Walter Piecyk finally falls. Fitting realmoney and the street lead this call.
Wireless cable has finally arrived and all folks can think about is selling even with it all starting over 121 years ago.
