Just Curious. How in brief would you explain the following:

1) The penetration of approx 18% of global subscibers in scarcely 6-7 years time against an entrenched technology
that had an inherent cost advantage (large economies of scale) and regulatory protection (EU wide mandatory use of
GSM).
2) Abysmally slow adoption of GPRS and GPRS services.

3)Your definition of backward compatibilty when adoption
of WCDMA by definition involves a brand new air interface.
or alternatively,- just how much of that legacy GSM system
(rf equipment, etc. ) gets junked.

4) poor showing of FOMA - both in absolute terms and in terms of its"performance/compatibilty " of its predecessor
platform.

5) why simply there is likely to be "tens of millions" of
1xrtt/CDMA200 users before WCDMA is even out of the gates.
thanks in advance,
Q Moonie
