Dennis, << Brazil doesn't seem to have slammed the door shut on CDMA on 1800 MHz >> It doesn't seem so. Nothing I've seen published that says ANATEL is mandating GSM. engineer got us on the right track with the fact that Korea PCS is CDMA-1900. We know phones and infrastructure are available if limited. My recall is that engineer thinks an 1800 MHz phone can roam with a 1900 MHz system if you adjust this or that and North America is supposedly a more popular roaming spot for Brazilians than Europe and their ain't any 1800 MHz anything in the US. << Would Sprint PCS and Bell Atlantic build a GSM network in Brazil if they are allowed to bid >> Sprint would certainly want to do that I would think especially if 1800/1900 MHz trick can be accomplished. BAM a question mark. VOD could go either way. DoCoMO would probably go GSM-1800. SK-Telecom who bid in 1997 I think would almost certainly go CDMA-1800. BCE (with Telmex) is interesting because Bell Mobility is CDMA and I think they do TDMA as well. Spain's Telefonica uses both Spain's Telefonica CDMA and TDMA in Brazil (GSM in Europe) and there ain't no TDMA-1800 I am aware of. In the case of Telefonica seems like they may be able to bid in regions with they don't service, and can even rearrange service to accomplish. Brazil may not be all over yet. This one is fun. Heck. maybe Nokia can put up a CDMA-1800 plant. <g> - Eric -
