Greg, the $10bn seemed to be the cost of the basestations but I don't know whether they were including land. Spectrum wasn't included which I believe Japan will give to the successful applicants after the beauty contest. I dare say the $10bn was an approximate figure. Part of the value of spectrum comes from deliberate government-caused shortage. If they just opened up all spectrum and sold it in 5 MHz lumps to the highest bidder, there would not be such a shortage. There is a lot of spectrum. I suppose it will gradually be used more efficiently. It's a mess at the moment with useless spectrum users blocking up spectrum only because they were given it for no charge years ago. Mqurice PS: Keith [Feral] thanks for the item from October with your comments. I'm not sure that Q! has actually got rights to the patents yet as they were still in limbo as part of the pooled patent arrangements but they have been working on developments, same as Nokia has, without paying for the patents during development. The argument as to who owns what is still to come, [I think]. <QCOM already has the technology and licensing for DS ASICS. In fact, the company already has announced a roadmap for the chips. I think this should put an end to any ridiculous speculation that the Q would be shut out of the DS ASIC market if Japan or Europe selects low speed WCDMA alternatives. QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies Extends Product Roadmaps to Support Multiple Modes of Third Generation Global CDMA Standard - New Solutions to Support Multi-Carrier (1x, 3x) and Direct Spread Modes - GENEVA October 11, 1999 QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), pioneer and world leader of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) digital wireless technology, today announced further development plans for Mobile Station Modem [MSM(tm)] solutions that will support the single worldwide CDMA standard for third generation (3G) systems. The new chipset and system software solutions will support the Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) modes of the Global 3G (G3G) CDMA air interface standard in accordance with the Operator's Harmonization Group (OHG) agreements. The standard is being developed by the two 3G Partnership Projects (3GPP and 3GPP2) and is being recognized as the CDMA part of IMT-2000 by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). The new chipsets and systems software will pave the way for QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies to deliver complete solutions to accelerate the global deployment of 3G CDMA products and services. The two FDD modes that will be implemented in the QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies solutions are the G3G CDMA Multi-Carrier (MC) mode, consisting of both 1x and 3x spreading bandwidths, and the G3G CDMA Direct Spread (DS) mode. These solutions will enable manufacturers and operators worldwide to easily and effectively evolve their products and services based on local market requirements and deliver a new breed of feature-rich, voice and data-centric wireless devices furthering the growth of the wireless industry. >
