OK, kids... the game is nearly up.

Key quotes:

"For instance, countries that have already selected IMT-2000 operators such as Finland gave preferential treatment to existing mobile carriers, according to the Hansol. Italy has announced that it will also give preference to existing mobile service providers when it chooses IMT-2000 operators."

"IMT-2000 service boasts anytime, anywhere services offering global roaming and multimedia services at high speeds. In Korea, the service is slated to commence in 2002 just in time for the World Cup soccer game following opeator selection at the end of this year."

If you thought that DDI selecting W-CDMA was bad news... how about entire Korea going the same route? How's that for a kick in the stomach?

The Koreans seem to be backing away from any references to cdma2000. At the same time, they are stressing the importance of IMT-2000 - regardless of IS-95 upgrades. Now... what could that mean? Paging Dionne Warwick.
