Shanghai-based Comlent Technology Inc. will release two chips this week--an RF transceiver (CL4020) and an analog baseband (CL4520). This means that two local companies--the other being Rising Microelectronics Co. Ltd.--will have TD-SCDMA transceiver technology available, something the government considers an important factor when determining the issuance of third-generation licenses.....Comlent plans to release engineering samples of its chips in mid-November, targeting mass production for the third quarter of 2007.

Not that they'll actually hit it, but that target is too late . There are tremendous pressures built up for release of licenses within a very few months. Domestic TD-SCDMA engineers, shareholders and vendors and chauvinists have held other interests ( engineers, shareholders, vendors, consumers) hostage for years.

Much beyond this New Year's Day is intolerable and infeasible. . They can put any press face on it that they want, but they were supposed to be ready two years ago and this last round of "pre-commercial large-scale trials" is over.
