Article intended to highlight many contributionsTo the editor: I am concerned that there may be a misperception resulting from my article published by RCR on March 27, 2000, that the U.S. government in some way "favors" CDMA over other wireless technologies. This has been inferred...
To the Editor: We would like to respond to the letter from Mr. Jules Neuringer, president of Portronix Communications, printed in your April 24 issue.In recent years, Motorola and its dealer channel recognized a need for an integrated marketing database. This tool would provide access...
Dear Editor,In writing in the April 24 issue on the absurdly high bids for U.K. 3G licenses, "U.K. Prices: Up, up and away," RCR states: "But the United Kingdom's four incumbents must win a license at any cost. If they lose, they face destroyed...
Dear Editor: Last night when I went to sleep I felt secure in the knowledge that I was living in the United States; "land of the free ..." This morning when I read my mail, I began to wonder whether I was still in the...
Dear Editor: This is in response to an article on call rounding ("NYC legislators work to combat rounding up," RCR, April 10, page 34).While I'm sure the citizens of New York will be suitably impressed by their officials' implementation of the impressive- sounding "Wireless Consumer...
Big business spends billions of dollars on infrastructure. No matter whether the business is an airline or a telecommunications company, the economic theory is the same. To be able to provide good service to the public over a wide geographic area requires a huge...
Dear Editor: The PCS slamming was rather tacky when it appeared on the cover of RCR and then has become quite old in issue after issue, but accepted by your readers as negative selling, which in a capitalist society we must all endure. Thankfully some...
To the Editor: Regarding "A Look at Nextel's Bones" (Letters to the Editor, Dec. 3, 1999), the evidence would suggest Mr. Jones' conclusions about Nextel and Morgan O'Brien's speech to the Radio Club of America are not based in fact.With respect to Nextel's dealings with...
Dear Editor: What planet is Morgan O'Brien from?One can assume from Mr. O'Brien's comments made to the Radio Club of America about Nextel's virtues that he is either one-brain dead and delusional, two-a liar, or three-from another planet or time dimension. Since I would not...
Dear Editor: As pointed out by Jeff Silva in his "D.C. Notes" column Nov. 9, many industry players, including the Personal Communications Industry Association, are supportive of additional spectrum for third-generation services worldwide.Representatives from these groups and from the government have expended a great deal...
To the Editor: While I do not choose to comment substantively on Tracy Ford's opinion (Oct. 25), the letter from George Carlo in response thereto gives me a very negative reaction. Let me say at the outset that I have no conflict of interest on...
Dear Editor: I'd like to offer a short response to Scott Adam's letter to the editor in your Nov. 8 edition, "Protected spectrum counters efficient use of spectrum."I believe Mr. Adams is much closer to AMTA's position than he realizes. The purpose of the petition...
Dear Editor: I have been a customer of AT&T Wireless in the New York region for several years. During this time, I have utilized the service from a home base in Manhattan, central New Jersey and northern New Jersey. Over the years, I have had...
Dear Editor: I read Alan Shark's rebuttal in the Oct. 18 issue of RCR and feel it's time Mr. Shark take a trip back into the trenches. His advocacy of auctions for private dispatch systems below 520 MHz is misguided at best. One only has...
To the Editor: I found the opinion by Tracy Ford (RCR, Oct. 25, 1999) to be oddly uninformed, especially in view of the long-term coverage your publication has given to the wireless phone health issue. While I have certainly had my differences with RCR over...
Dear Editor: We are greatly disappointed in RCR's Oct. 11 article, "AT&T Explores 1XRTT Technology," by Lynnette Luna. There is no truth to the suggestion that AT&T may utilize cdma2000/1XRTT technology. Ms. Luna's sources are unofficial and wrong.As we stated on-the-record in the article, AT&T...
Dear Editor,Studies of possible harms to the brain from cell phone use by the Wireless Technology Research Group, meant to be a definitive, industrywide effort, focus on cancer and genetic damage but miss other, more likely, harmful effects.If I bring my cell phone within...
To the Editor,Use of mobile phones is strictly prohibited in hospitals, planes and other specific areas because they may interfere with the normal functioning of the electronic or magnetic equipment due to radiation of electromagnetic waves.Owners manuals provided by manufacturers of various mobile phones...
To the Editor,I just read the May 3 issue of RCR and wanted to say thanks for the mention and to congratulate you on a good discussion of TDD versus FDD. I especially appreciate your candid discussion of the issues with the benefits of...
To the Editor: I read with great interest Heather Forsgren Weaver's article on wireless resale in the April 19 issue of RCR. While I was pleased to see that resellers like Select Wireless Inc. can grow a successful resale business from the ground up, I...
Dear Editor: I read the Opinion section by Jeffrey Silva in the April 12th issue of RCR News. It finally exposes a railroad company spinoff known as Catellus that is attempting to "trade" old railroad properties for money-producing mountain-top electronic sites. In a clever game,...
Dear Editor: I am reading with great interest the "war of words" being conducted in your editorial section concerning Nextel's attempt to vacate a 1995 antitrust consent decree. As an employee of Nextel/Fleet Call for the past five-and-a-half years, I have seen the pendulum swing...
Dear Editor: In a March 29 letter in RCR from Daniel F. Akerson, chairman and CEO, Nextel Communications Inc., Mr. Akerson states "what we are asking the Justice Department to do is provide a level playing field in the wireless industry in which we can...
Striking nervesDear Editor: I have been in the two-way radio communications business for over 35 years. Regardless of my field, one thing I have noticed over the past 35+ years, the CEO of a company does not complain publicly or in print unless someone has...
