Eric,
There is much confusion over: What the heck is a 3G network? Lots of confusion over what is 3G, i.e. does 1x at 150kbs qualify?, but the interesting question is what qualifies as a network? It depends on how one sees things.

I would bet that the Koreans have much larger deployments of 1x at 150 kbs, followed by 1xev at 300kbs plus HDR at megabit speeds, than NTT with wcdma (10 users?) in Japan in 2001. The question will be whether NTT's WCMA system, if launched, actually qualifies as a network.

Maybe we should set up some sort of criteria:

Netowrk is at least 1M users?
3G is 150kbs, 300kbs, etc.?

I'm sure the carriers will all make definitions to suit their needs, but it would be interesting to come up with our own standards. Suggestions?

Caxton
