Lurqer, I think this reference that you were questioning is just typical journalism. >>The government will be deciding whether to adopt the 1.8 MHz bandwidth (GSM -- European standard), or the 1.9MHz bandwidth (TDMA and CDMA, American standards)<< The European GSM system uses a 1800 MHz (1.8 GHz) carrier frequency, the US pcs systems use a 1900 MHz (1.9 GHz) carrier frequency. I believe that the author was trying to say that the government will decide whether to use carrier frequencies compatible with U.S. or with Europe. Bandwidth is the spectrum used around the center carrier frequency, 1.25MHz for our existing systems, 5MHz for 3G systems. I don't think he was talking about bandwidth. Hope this helps. If I'm wrong, the real experts can slap me around a little bit. Pete
