>>Asynchronous communication method is used in 80 percent of the world, including Europe and Japan, and the other method in North America. <<

The Asynchronous systems haven't been built yet. The existing working CDMA systems are all cdmaOne and are in Korea already.

Here's another innaccurate story. from the asian press.

DDI To Use North American
Standard In Next-Generation
Phones

TOKYO (Nikkei)--DDI Corp. (9433) and its October
merger partners formally announced Friday they will
employ the cdma2000 technology standard in
next-generation mobile phones.

DDI, KDD Corp. (9431) and IDO Corp. decided to
adopt the technical standard that will be used in North
America instead of the W-CDMA standard that will be
used in Europe and by Japanese competitors, such as
NTT DoCoMo Inc. (9437) and the J-Phone companies
operating under Japan Telecom Corp. (9434).

According to a application filed Friday with the Ministry
of Posts and Telecommunications, the next generation
service to be offered by DDI cellular firms and IDO will
use the 2 GHz frequency band with a maximum data
transmission speed of 144 kilobits per second.

The service will be launched in Tokyo, Nagoya and
Osaka around September 2002 and in other areas by
March 2004 for an as yet undetermined fees.

The firms are also considering employing the
cdma2000 standard in their existing cdmaOne service
provided in the 800 MHZ band.

So according to he above story DDI will put 1XRTT on the 2GHz band and cdma2000 on existing spectrum. I think he's got it turned around. Take any thing you see in the Japanese press with a large grain of salt.
