Cax: I have been thinking about it!

1) Tend to zero for the many who were involved in developing GSM - ALL the main switching suppliers (and I mean all!). Others were shut out. The Japanese tried to do the same things and approached Europe with an alternative technology...GSM won out, even in Asia.

2) It could be argued that without Korea there would be NO cdmaOne. I agree Korean telecom industry has come on leaps and bounds because of cdma, but I would also redirect to the sentence that proceeds this.

I do take that the most valid point (for me) is that of Korean companies taking on GSM. Agree it would be difficult, but with Korea's manufacturing base they supply a lot of component parts to the GSM club, so an opportunity did indeed exist in obtaining cross-license and other deals.

All the best,
M
