Hey, just to give you a perspective, we had 150k users within 6 months of rolling out service on CDMA in 1994/5. There is already more than 150k users of CDMA in China TODAY on a market trial basis. If they REALLY expect to have something soon, then having 150k users in 4 years from now is nothing more than a small glorified market trial, one in which they could conceivably fund all by themselves and really have NO market influence what so ever. 150k handsets is like the monthly inventory float that Qualcomm handset division used to have with the carriers. On a grand scheme it is just about NOTHING. Why waste your time on a service so far out that has no market value?

Just proves that Marketing FUD is most times overblown.
