Scott Ford, President and CEO, Alltel Corporation
Alltel made the right decision when it became one of the early U.S. adopters of CDMA technology.  As Alltel moved from analog to digital networks, CDMA gave our customers a better customer experience due to its quality and coverage capabilities.  CDMA technology has also benefited our shareholders because of its spectral efficiency and the easier and lower cost upgrade path to 3G.  We look forward to the continued evolution of CDMA to keep reducing our costs while providing more capacity and capabilities to our customers.

Chungming An, CEO, APBW
CDMA can still penetrate into a 100% saturated GSM mobile market.  APBW’s QMA brand is leading the data service offering in Taiwan.

David Morash, President, Chief Financial Officer, Axesstel, Inc.
The evolution of CDMA has created a new market for fixed wireless because it is much more competitive vs. landlines and 10’s of millions of additional people can have the benefit of communication. Developing countries are able to leap frog years of investment to offer voice and data services to people who have never had it.

Miguel Garcia, VP General Manager for Centennial Wireless
At Centennial, we feel very proud of the fact that we launched the first commercial application of CDMA technology in the Americas. Part of our success and leadership is based upon our evolving CDMA network that has allowed us to provide superior coverage and quality of communication, clear and secure, to our customers.  From the very beginning, this has been an edge that has contributed to our ability to compete in this aggressive market.

Ingemar Blomqvist, Head of Ericsson CDMA Systems
Ericsson congratulates the CDMA industry on its 10th year anniversary. Since its commercial introduction in 1995, CDMA has evolved rapidly in response to market conditions and operator needs.

As a technology leader, Ericsson is honored to be a member of this growing and exciting community.

Philippe Vallee, Executive Vice President, Telecom Business Unit, Gemplus
We at Gemplus have been impressed by the ability of the CDMA community to embrace the smart card and take full advantage of its user experience. In less than five years, already 20% of CDMA subscribers can freely transfer their subscriptions from phone to phone and can be safely authenticated at home and abroad.

Tadashi Onodera, Chairman & President, KDDI Corporation, Japan
Congratulations on the tenth anniversary of the first cdmaOne launch! Since KDDI deployed the first cdmaOne network in 1998, it has utilized CDMA technology to compete with a dominant incumbent operator in Japan. When KDDI launched CDMA2000 in 2002, it started very attractive new services such as music download and GPS-guided navigation. Thanks to these new services, KDDI has more than 20 million subscribers in one of the world’s most competitive mobile markets. However, we are not satisfied with our 3G yet. KDDI just announced the upgrade of 1xEV-DO Rev. A to its CDMA2000 1x EV-DO data infrastructure. The development, scheduled by the end of 2006, also advances construction of KDDI's "Ultra 3G" next-generation communications infrastructure, which integrates fixed and mobile networks, further enabling a variety of communications systems to provide services seamlessly. Our challenge is to continue to better serve our customers.

Mike Iandolo, Mobility Access Solutions Vice President & General Manager, Lucent Technologies
As the world's leading provider of CDMA and CDMA2000 networks and one of the true pioneers of the technology, we're very excited about these milestones, as they also serve as a testament to the hard work of the entire global CDMA community. Operators around the world are benefiting from the excellent investment protection that CDMA technology has provided over the years and the high-quality voice and high-speed mobile data services it enables. We're working to ensure that this technology continues to cost-effectively evolve to support new revenue-generating services in the future via enhancements such as CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Revision A.

Bruce Stone, Senior Vice President, Cellular Networks – CDMA Product Line, Networks, Motorola, Inc.
This 10-year CDMA milestone also is a significant event for Motorola. Motorola delivered the industry's first commercial CDMA network in 1995, and continues to promote the evolution of this technology -- which at one time provided only basic voice -- to today's networks that give subscribers around the world access to high-speed mobile broadband. As we continue to develop all IP-based CDMA networks, operators will have even more flexibility to deliver innovative new services and applications that meet consumers' demand for seamless mobility and access to people, data, and entertainment wherever and whenever they want it.

Larry Paulson, Vice President of Business & Product Strategy, Nokia
Nokia is proud to have been an integral part of CDMA technology development over the past decade. Starting with our first CDMA handset in 1997, Nokia has since developed 5 generations of CDMA chipsets and delivered over 60 million CDMA handsets to consumers around the world. Today, Nokia offers CDMA phones in a full range of sizes, styles and capabilities. In that same timeframe, Nokia and the other members of the CDG have worked tirelessly to introduce new innovations and standards that have transformed CDMA into a interoperable global technology used by customers in markets around the world.

Richard Lowe, President, CDMA Networks, Nortel
When CDMA was first introduced in 1995, Nortel was proud to bring to market a technology that provided such a significant advancement in mobile technology, ultimately accelerating the propagation of mobile voice around the world. As the importance of mobile data emerged, CDMA gracefully evolved as well, introducing mobile data with CDMA2000 1X and then unleashing the power of data and enabling new business models with CDMA2000 1xEV-DO. However, the best is yet to come. With the introduction of CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev. A and MMD/IMS, Nortel solutions will provide the building blocks for network convergence, enable tomorrow's service aware networks to be more intelligent and facilitate service bundling opportunities to enhance the subscriber experience.

Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, CEO of QUALCOMM
This anniversary marks a very important milestone for the wireless industry.  Since the first commercial network launch, CDMA has become the fastest-growing wireless technology in the world.  We've seen a fundamental shift in how the wireless phone is perceived.  The most significant change is the phone has moved from being used simply for voice to being used for entertainment, productivity and multimedia services.  Handsets now include video recorders, game platforms, GPS receivers, high-speed processors, megabytes of memory and incredibly bright color screens.  We are at a very early stage of this transition and QUALCOMM is excited about what's to come -- in the decade ahead, creative companies will develop wireless devices and services that none of us have even dreamed of yet.

Kevin D. Barber, Senior Vice President, RF Solutions, Skyworks Solutions, Inc.
Skyworks congratulates the CDMA community on this important milestone and for continuing to advance the technology for millions of users to enjoy.  Skyworks' own power amplifier module was integrated in the first CDMA handset in 1995 and today we continue to enhance the technology by integrating solutions that save handset developers significant design time, power requirements and board space. We are pleased to be a part of CDMA's ongoing success story as we deliver products that help mobile phone manufacturers increasingly add new multimedia and high-speed data services to meet customer demand.

Barry J. West, Chief Technology Officer, Sprint Nextel
The fact that CDMA is the fastest growing mobile digital technology today, with most major next generation technologies choosing a CDMA variant, is a ringing endorsement of the seemingly controversial decision Sprint made over a decade ago to deploy the technology for its network.

Ten years ago CDMA had not yet been widely deployed and there were many competing choices for Sprint to consider as it evaluated its technology alternatives. In the end, Sprint selected CDMA based on its promise to deliver superior voice quality, capacity, security and wireless data capabilities, all of which proved to be true compared to competing alternatives.

Sprint was the first company to launch a nationwide all digital CDMA voice system in 1996, nationwide wireless data system in 1999, and continues to work diligently at driving for advances in the standardization of the technology. CDMA's capabilities have exceeded our expectations and continue to be a key underlying enabler of voice and data applications which have helped position Sprint as the wireless data leader in the U.S.
