Does anyone have any info they can share with me on this to help me out?

Hi Teflon....

I think the only place you will find the information in a compiled form is in a research report by a brokerage or an independent analyst. Unfortunately, at Q's current shareprice, both of those are a little expensive :(. The information is also usually available in conference call's or PR related to network build-outs.

Here's a small list from memory....take it with a grain of salt. Also, these are targeted dates for the beginning of commmercial service....many of these will be limited in scope.

Sprint PCS    1xrtt   Fall '01
Verizon       1xrtt   Fall '01
NTT Docomo    W-CDMA  May '01
Japan Telecom W-CDMA  Oct '01
KDDI          1xrtt   Fall '01
Alltel        1xrtt   Fall '01
Telefonica    W-CDMA  Aug '01
Vodaphone     W-CDMA  Sometime in '02
Telcel        1xrtt   Second Half of '01


A good place to look for more dates on W-CDMA roll-outs is probably the Nortel/Nokia/Ericsson press releases. These three companies have received the most 3G contracts.....and some will likely have delivery dates included.

The GSM operators have all comitted to GPRS. The only hold-up is the handsets. A couple have already launched commerical service (British Telecom) with modem cards. The rest will likely launch early next year if handsets are available. Nokia/Ericsson/MOT had previously comitted to handsets by the end of this year but that has now slipped to the first quarter of next year.

Of course, all of the Korean operators have committed to launching 1x by the end of this year. Hope this helps....
