What!!!! Come on.

China will have both GSM and CDMA. QCOM has said that they are going to be working with communication system providers in China to jump start them. From a political standpoint, you don't break the arm that feeds you. Can you imagine if China lost a trading partner such as the US. China needs us more than we need them. You think their economy is in turmoil now wait until there is a reason for the US to stop trade (Taiwan).

GSM cheaper? There have been numerous studies showing that CDMA is less expensive. How many GSM handset providers are there? Fewer than CDMA. CDMA phones are priced no differently than GSM phones. Less CDMA infrastructure required for the same number of users. Do we have to go back to the basics on the issue of system capacity for you. Good network planning is necessary with either system.

I am amazed. What a load of crap.
