This announcement means that not only are DoCoMo and Japan Telecom already committed to W-CDMA. Not only is DDI tipping over to W-CDMA. But two of the biggest mobile operators in the world are considering applying for a W-CDMA license in Japan.

Count the numbers, Maurice. That would be four W-CDMA applications in Japan alone.


Isnt Japan Telecom part of the J-Phone consortium? I assume they arent bidding twice....

totaltele.com

J-phone, the consortium of mobile units belonging to Japan Telecom, BT and Vodafone Airtouch, announced Wednesday that it has applied for a third generation mobile license in Japan.

One other comment....can we all agree not to use the generic term "CDMA2000" anymore? It doesnt mean anything....and only confuses the issue. Qualcomm is pushing 1xrtt/HDR as a "3G" technology....while I believe that Tero is generally referring to 3xrtt. Just want to settle some of the confusion when we have one side claiming "CDMA2000" is delayed while the other believes it is being rolled out by the end of the year....
