Roy and Chris,
I don't understand why Sprint is going to such high power. I was under the
impression that Sprint used only CDMA for phone conversations. Usually, CDMA
transmitters are only a few watts, and even with high gain antennas, the
effective radiated power is usually much lower than you quoted. I smell a rat
here. Is Sprint really trying to assure having good internal communications
or are they planning a more massive invasion of your space for future
ultra-wideband facilities, data transmission, etc?
