Nokia doesn't need a mobile data standard that will attract 5 million subscribers in 2001. I think that you are missing the point about 1xrtt....if infrastructure rolls out on schedule (4th Q 2000/1st Q 2001) then it would seem highly likely that CDMA operators will STOP buying non-1xrtt handsets. Maybe this is my wishful thinking that operators would be this logical....but it seems insane to continue selling handsets that will fill up twice as much bandwidth when you dont need too. This isnt like analog...all 1xrtt handsets will be backwards compatible to cdmaONE. Also all indications (by operators) are that the upgrade to 1xrtt will be easy and cheap....This is an upgrade that will hugely benefit the operators, not the manufacturers of infrastructure equipment.
