In my mind, there is some sort of disconnect going on.

First, am I making the right assumptions?

MC=CDMA2000=3G right?

1X=3G

If 1X fulfills the requirements for 3G, gives outstanding data capability, and migrates easily to CDMA 2000, and is available by year end...

...why would Unicom want to wait for 2 years for WCDMA or CDMA 2000? Why would they not begin installing 1X now?

Now, another thing. If 1X is 3G and is available practically now, and WCDMA is still far away from working, if ever, why don't we see carriers begin tumbling like dominoes away from WCDMA committments and toward 1X? I mean, I realize the Euro cabal wants all to standardize on CDMA bastard WCDMA, and they've so far hypnotized everyone to agree with them that WCDMA will be the dominant standard, but I just don't understand why we're not seeing some defections right now, heading 1X's way. Are all these WCDMA committed carriers blind and dumb, or are we investors on SI just deluding ourselves, incestuously infecting each others opinions to reach the same conclusions since we all live in the same place?

I would expect some carriers who have earlier committed to WCDMA to begin committing to 1x/MC, and I also expect some GSM carriers to begin committing to 1X/MC.

Anyone have a theory on why this is not happening right now?

PS Maybe everyone should screw everything and wait 10 years for 4G. 100Mbits per sec sounds cool to me. lol.
