It cant help but to chime in on your comments to Mar. Mike excerpt from your post.. "... a buildout in GSM is a future CDMA sytem" why don't they build it now in cdma? you think it's less costly to build gsm first and then convert to cdma? who says the chinese will convert? what made them decide to use gsm?..." What Mike meant is W-CDMA is the 3rd generation migration path for GSM operators. Much like CDMA 2000 is the 3G migration path for IS95 CDMA (current version). This was assumed, as it has been widely published over the past year. The fact is GSM operators will use CDMA WHEN operators currently using GSM migrate to 3g or W-CDMA. WCDMA is already the standard agreed on by GSM operators worldwide. They (GSM & WCDMA operators) will pay QCOM for it's intellectual property as determined in the landmark March 25th settlement between ERCY and QCOM. So as for the "holes" in your post do a little more homework before attacking someone who demonstrates a better understanding of the QCOM business model than yourself.
