I suspect the reason LG Telecom had been so adamant about W-CDMA in the past was in part the influence of the proffered BT money. Much as NTT money seems to have influenced the technology choice of one of the other Korean carriers and AT&T Wireless, LG's warming up to the idea of going after the third license with CDMA-2000 probably started as it became clear to them that BT wasn't going to be able to make the investment. That's my theory anyway, and as good an explaination for LG's change of heart as any. CDMA 2000's chances from this point forward may improve as the European carriers have to pull in their horns and end their free spending ways. That leaves only NTT with their bottomless money bag, thanks to weak-kneed limp regulators in their home market, to buy influence with carriers for W-CDMA.
