RE: Companies loosing laptops and your data

Somebody is giong to beat me senseless with a Clue x 4 for attempting to go
into detail, I will masquerade the protocols basics (CDMA and GSM) behind a
slew of ebonics.

So..

When the cellular telco radios want to talk to your cell phone to say hey
you got a call coming in it should do something like this.

Telco: "Homie, you there?"
Cell: "Sup G"
Telco: "You there? I can't hear you"
Cell: "DO I HAVE TO YELL?"
Cell phone flips channels and bumps tx power
*SPEAKER MAKES NOISE*
Telco: "Man that's off the hook yo, I hears you, you should step it down a
bit foo"
Cell: "Sheeeeit man, whatever you say."
*SPEAKER STOPS MAKING NOISE*

Cell phone rings, and you pick up with the cell phone knowing what the
optimal transmission power should be and at the correct frequency

Is that the kind of detail you wanted? Somebody correct me if homie be
wrong.
