".. but a group of operators put the real muscle behind the CDMA harmonisation process... The Operators Harmonisation Group (OHG), which, after all, represents most of 3G's potential customers throughout the world, reiterated in May its support for a common global specification for the competing 3G CDMA systems."
----------

As I've noted before, the power for determining standards is shifting away from the standards bodies and to the Operators. (No, Eric, I'm not suggesting that the standards bodies melt away - but that their ability to self-direct is terminally on the wane.)

The Operators will have what they require. This is how we will see roaming and compatibility between CDMA flavors far sooner than most expect. This is how we see HDR in Europe, and the flushing of EDGE, far sooner than most expect. With the proposed unified ANSI41/GSM Map, CDMA MC may have an opportunity to compete with DS in Europe on the basis of technology alone.

Best of all, it's all based on QCOM's fundamental IP. QCOM will remain best positioned to dominate the evolution of core technologies.

Here is the link to the Operators'Harmonization proposal.
