ADVISORY, Oct. 2, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) --
WHAT: IDC has released a white paper entitled 'Past as a Guidepost
to the Future: Reflections on the Continued Growth of the
Mobile Communications Industry.' The white paper reconciles
lessons learned from the history of mobile communications
with current and emerging market realities, and concludes
that while the industry should remain open to new
technologies, the global mobile industry should focus on
expanding its existing ecosystem. The conclusion bodes well
for CDMA2000(r), whose current performance and evolution path
is well positioned to sustain a robust and profitable mobile
communications industry.
WHO: The CDMA Development Group is a trade association formed to
