Marv: Forget Western Europe. The European govts will come to aid of telcos in an effort to continue to
GSM-GSPR-EDGE-W-CDMA evolution. Jobs, jobs, jobs, --Eurotechs will provide "protection" for home grown industry


Exactly why they will be forced to go with 1X. The actual jobs that the GSM - GPRS - EDGE - WCDMA path supports is trivial when compared to the jobs supported by the Telecom industry as a whole. As has been pointed out here (and by Qualcomm/Vode with the overlays) Europe can save face and continue to give lip service to the GSM - WCDMA path by adding in 1X. They can spin to their heart's content about how they haven't really altered the final destination, they are just making the customer happy by delivering it sooner with the 1X route, not having to wait on GPRS - EDGE.

They can not afford to let the 'system' sit and wait for some promised technology. Everyone benefits if the system is expanded and used. 1X allows that.
