DaveMG: I was with reading to learn up until the point you quoted Gus. Just kidding of course.

You and I have tilted at a few windmills, and as I say, you have my respect generally, but come on:

"WCDMA is clearly wiping the floor with CDMA2000."

WCDMA simply does not exist in the real world. There is no repeat no WCDMA in operation commercially anywhere, so it is hardly "wiping the floor" (except as a janitor might perhaps).

Perception is reality in politics. Is it in technology too?
Seems so.

I just think the real world matters. And in the real world there is no WCDMA.

Note: The "WCDMA" in Korea is "backward compatible" with CDMAOne. Is that the European WCDMA? Seems a bit different from the UMTS being "tested" which uses vans to carry "terminals".

And on standards, Dr J won. Its CDMA period for 3rd gen. If that is losing, then that's the kind of losing I admire.

Best.
