Ha ha that was a smart answer! Qchat is a solution for CDMA handsets that let them Nextel Direct Connect to iDen handsets. Basically, you will have a cool stylish phone that runs on CDMA but is backwards compatible to direct connect to older iDen or hybrid phones.

I thought it was a good answer too!

Well Qchat has a few components to its arsenal; one being the high performance push to talk solution on the EV-DO Rev A network simply ptting others with that system. The second is that it can allow for a global push to talk situation with other countries. Finally, the bridge that you mentioned with regarding Qchat and DC. Things are good to come and start to say goodnight to the IDEN network. There are much more things that can be done on Qchat then on the IDEN network. It is very difficult to expand the IDEN base but more importantly using that REV A network to Sprint’s advantage by both voice ARPU and Data ARPU expansion. Of course this issue that Qualcomm has with Broadcom over this issue, Qchat, as...

Oh with that specific situation, you obviously know that I can’t comment on that for many reasons but the most important reason has to deal with the Qualcomm and Broadcom situation with this issue and their outstanding issues. I can tell you that if everything works in Qualcomm’s and Sprint’s favors that it will be launched in NYC. I obviously cannot and will not say when. When more details are released that I will be able to mention I will definitely update the board. NYC is a huge network with wireless subscribers and there are a lot of public safety officials and other push to talk users who would want this Qchat solution.
