You ask why Ericsson does not participate in cdma. If the European standard for 3G allows convergence as Qualcomm wants, Ericy will now have serious competitors in Europe. That's why Ericsson is fighting so hard. Moreover, by tweaking its W-CDMA to favor GSM and be incompatible with IS-95, it hopes to continue its dominance in Europe by maintaining its customer base and continuing to be able to sell GSM in Europe. Introduction of a competitive IS-95 cdma with 3G standards having no favoritism for upgrade poses the problem of greater losses of customer base down the road.
