re "not that difficult"

CDMA 2000 is a "working" standard approved by the ITU. EDGE and WCDMA are standards but still "works in progress" as far as being operational. What's your point?

Is it that GSM/GPRS/EDGE are the "easy" steps to UMTS?

It may well be that Nokia et al will champion UMTS before GPRS becomes as popular as cdma (i.e 100+ million subs). Then again, maybe, UMTS will never see the light of day and EDGE (or some such derivative) will become the European 3g standard. In my mind, the "European" situation is all pretty fuzzy. I don't understand what you are trying to say.

If you'd like, help me understand.
