Greg: You misunderstand. The path to CDMA 2000 is on current frequencies. The possibility of use of CDMA 2000 on the new frequencies is frosting on the cake. It might help to review some of the previous posts here which cover that point.

DDI and its partners already have a data rate in operation in Japan which is faster then the so called WCDMA which DoCoMo proposes to introduce a year from now. That is IS 95B. In addition, 1XRTT which will double voice capacity on the frequencies now in use and enhance data speed further is on track for use in Japan on the same frequencies now in use toward the end of this year or early next. The chips are available now for this and DDI plans to use this system as soon as possible. This is a "no brainer" since it increases efficiency at low cost. This is the first phase of 3rd gen CDMA 2000 (or as it is now labelled - MC).Then HDR will be introduced. The second phase of CDMA 2000 (MC)is 3XRTT which can also be used on current frequencies. None of this has anything whatsoever to do with what flavor of CDMA is used on the new spectrum.

Best.
