Somebody help me understand something here. If CDMA2000 has already had its field testing and is ready to go and that W-CDMA is really not ready, how is it that DoCoMo (and reportedly others) will be able to roll out W-CDMA when supposedly it has not fully been defined? I don't ever remember reading that any of those supporting W-CDMA have ever negotiated a licensing agreement with Qualcomm. Why is DDI waiting until 2002 to put in CDMA2000? Is W-CDMA further along than I am lead to believe? I understand that Qualcomm is expecting that they will get royalties with either flavor (they have said at the same level), but that it would be better for them if CDMA2000 were the predominant choice (because of their ASCS). NTT DoCoMo and the J-Phone group will adopt the "W-CDMA" technology platform that is widely used in Europe. The two plan to initially offer the new service in Tokyo, Osaka and some other areas in 2001. The DDI-IDO group will start the new service in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka in fall 2002, using "cdma2000" technology developed by Qualcomm Inc. of the United States.
