Ben: While it is hard to project ahead, the World Cup is the number one event in the world, and the importance of the Qualcomm agreement for making 1xEv-Do (HDR) up and running by then is huge.

The total, abject, and complete failure of W-CDMA to deal with this is a milestone (or a kilometer stone - if such exists).

Let's enjoy the bobbing and weaving of those to whom football is so emotional that the mobs go wild, and the bets go out of sight.

(I was lucky enough to be in Brazil when the games were on. Few US citizens have any idea what the emotions and total focus was, and will be again. A "World Series" in baseball - or the "Superbowl" in US football is tame in comparison.)

CDMA 2000 wins again.

Note: One of the funniest points among the press (media, or whatever) is the idea the W-CDMA will be over half of 3G.

Nothing is more absurd. W-CDMA will be at best, when and if it ever works, a set of small islands.

CDMA 2000 will be the sea. (With huge economies of scale to reflect that)

Best.

Chaz

PS One of the funniest to watch will be what the Europeans do - frozen out from the play by play because of the stupidity and stubbonness of their operators and the equipment suppliers led by Nokia - not a good situation to be in. But by then perhaps Nokia will have caved.
