The biggest Korean mobile operator, SK Telecom is collaborating with Nokia on 3G technology. I doubt that this venture will turn out to be a celebration of cdma2000. The comments Korean manufacturers have made about cdma2000 handsets count very little compared to the influence the SK Telecom decision will have. I have noticed that the Korean operators have been notably subdued when it comes to cdma2000. They don't appeare to be too keen to put their head in the noose just yet. Let's wait until the first Korean operator actually announces a third generation network order before lumping this market into the cdma2000 camp. The SK Telecom decision to work with Nokia is tangible evidence of the power shift in the 3G CDMA world. The Orwellian attempt to rename a 2.5G technology as 3G is little more than a smokescreen. Peace is not war and 1XRTT is not 3G. Obviously, implementation of 1XRTT does not mean that an operator can't adopt W-CDMA as a 3G standard - DDI has proven that. Actually - right now the cdma2000 camp seems to consist of Sprint. Period. The vague noises China made about cdma2000 date back to the time when entire Japan hadn't tipped over to W-CDMA. Tero
