China deal: Shakespeare reborn >Most of the money will be spent on upgrading the CDMA >network it acquired from Great Wall Telecom Corp in >January this year and expanding its own national network, >in which it invested USD843 million last year. Hmmm... "most of the money" will be spent on "CDMA...and...its own national network". The emphasis has to be on the word "and". What does all this mean? Strange. As anyone knows its own national network is GSM. It means that even if this news item would prove to be 100%accurate, they wouldn´t have to spend a dime on CDMA. And why would they, indeed? They have 13M happy GSM customers and the whole nation is moving already to GSM based 2.5G. Anyone aware of issues such as roaming, common service platforms, SIM, 2G-2.5G upward-backward compatibility, handset momentum will find it very hard to believe that someone would intentionally switch to a betamax 2G standard. There are higher chances that the US will go metric, socialist, get a lesbian president and adopt Euro. - rajala
