Ben Kuo: I understand that EVDO Rev A isn't quite out there yet, when will it hit full deployment?

Brad Weinert: Yes, it's in testing right here in San Diego, and the first cities will be available in the next quarter. The major rollout will be in 2007. It's been publicly stated that there will be 100 markets up and operational by 2007. We're really excited by the merger of Nextel and Sprint, because it gives us an even bigger footprint. We've already seen that in our numbers--Sprint sales have been increasing quarter over quarter. The new technology is really a competitive advantage. The other thing about Rev-A, above the old Rev-0 technology, is that it is capable of quality of service. This comes into play with Voice over IP, video conferencing, and video on demand. Things like that need guaranteed bandwidth. The drivers in this world of mobile computing is the ability to offer ubiquitous service, and also guarantee quality of service for things like Voice over IP on a commercial level. You can make calls now with freeware, but to get commercial grade quality services you need that quality. The other thing is that we now have things like location based services and GPS built into the product.
