Peter, TDMA makes more sense and is being deployed where CDMA does not make fiscal sense. Lucent is still building networks right now for billions of dollars. Just because Q lucked out with China does not mean that they will own the world. What is Nokia doing with IDC and why are they paying IDC in the area of 83 million $$ for their efforts? For interest sakes, what is your take on the following excerpt from a LU whitepaper?

"Lucent is also committed to the concept of network families and their compatibility with other systems. For example, Lucent enthusiastically supports the Operators' Harmonisation Group's framework of backward compatibility between alternative modes of CDMA radio technology and today's mobile networks ? regardless of current standard. What's more, Lucent is well-positioned to build on the commonalties between evolved TDMA and GSM networks through General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and the Enhanced Data for Global Evolution (EDGE). Work is underway to bridge the concept of packet voice and data between the GSM and TDMA network families under the auspices of the 3G.IP Focus Group, in which Lucent is a leading participant.
Greater efficiency from deployed assets: Lucent has already established a record of asset preservation in the transition from first generation analogue systems to digital networks. With an eye to next generation services, incumbent network operators and new licensees will feel secure they will be able to rely on Lucent to rapidly create new and differentiated services that increase penetration and minutes of use, as well as retain customer loyalty."
