ADVISORY, Nov. 29, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) --



 WHAT:         The CDMA Development Group (CDG)(www.cdg.org) today  
               commented on Verizon Wireless' announcement that it will be  
               trialing LTE.

               "We are working with many leading service providers
               around the globe who are supporting more than one radio
               technology. It has become clear that a `One Technology
               Fits All' or `One Network Fits All' strategy may no
               longer suffice in today's competitive markets," stated
               Perry LaForge, executive director of the CDG.
               "However, CDMA2000(r) networks will continue to be a
               major source of their revenue and will be complemented
               by a number of various other air interface networks,
               including other advanced technologies such as 802.11n,
               LTE, WiMAX and Ultra Mobile Broadband(tm) (UMB(tm)).
               Through our ongoing WorldMode(tm) efforts, we will
               ensure that CDMA carriers and their customers will have
               the necessary multi-mode devices to support
               applications on CDMA2000 and the other leading radio
               technologies. 3G CDMA services will remain the dominant
               generation of mobile communications services long into
               the future."

 WHO:          The CDMA Development Group is a trade association
               formed to foster the worldwide development,
               implementation and use of CDMA2000 technologies. The
