I attended GLOBECOM, but did not have the opportunity to participate in 
the workshop on CDMA, which was organized by QUALCOMM. (I assume that this
is what you were referring to).

I did attend the presentation on a paper which was co-authored by Mr. Padovani
at QUALCOMM, along with Space Engineering of Italy and the ESA. This paper was
an analysis of a CDMA-based land mobile satellite system for Europe. The results
of their analysis are: "CDMA is the way to go for the provision of satellite
land mobile services"; CDMA is feasible and dependable.(The paper compared
CDMA with FDMA).
