CDMA Smackdown
A short article in Business 2.0 gives the latest on Nokia's efforts to get back into the CDMA business. We've covered this issue before, but the flood of press on the subject suggests that part of Nokia's strategy seems to be a publicity campaign to wipe out the notion that (a) they don't care about CDMA and (b) when they do make CDMA phones, they don't work very well. The company is even admitting that, in the past, they didn't pay enough attention to CDMA. Now, however, they insist that (really, really) this time will be different. Update: Meanwhile, this other article points out that Qualcomm is fighting back.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
