QCOM has been pushing CDMA 2000 as the real deal 3G, the Europeans have tried to screw around with W-CDMA and cannot agree on standards...it is no surprise they will be delayed. QCOM was right and CDMA is not easy to implement. QCOM has the keys, no one else. With adoption of CDMA2000 in the US and Asia, QCOM will rule 3G for sure now. Anyone who sells QCOM off on this does not know what it means. It means the Europeans are failing in their attempt to work around QCOM. If they sell it, I will buy it...This news vindicates what QCOM has said all along. From the FT article: "However, Qualcomm, which claims to hold most of the intellectual patents on which the two main 3G standards are based, says there are serious technical hurdles still to be crossed before the standard used in Europe (known as wideband-CDMA) is ready. Mr Jacobs believes a rival 3G standard known as CDMA-2000 will be quicker to market, although its critics claim Qualcomm is biased against W-CDMA because of closer ties with CDMA-2000." CDMA2000 is the solution to 3G, not the WCDMA or GPRS promised by the European. Now the whole world know what the mighty Q is capable of.
