What does it mean to say that all three of the Korean carriers will go with WCDMA?

SK and KT are already rolling out 1x and most likely HDR on existing spectrum. No way will these carriers roll out 3g on new spectrum that cannot inter-operate with the 1x/HDR on the old spectrum. What will this mean from a chip perspective? Will Q produce these DS/MC/HDR dual mode chips? More than likely. Given a chip like this, what does this say about the nature of WCDMA? Does it become part of a merged standard?

Korea is as good a place as any for this harmonization test to occur. The Korean courts have ruled favorably on the Q IPR. All of the vendors involved in the Korean build out will be fully licensed since they will need to inter-operate with CDMA2000.
