How on earth do they continue to get it wrong!!!

"EV-DO is crucial for its developer, Qualcomm, which aims to make a chipset that will win widespread acceptance when W-CDMA 3G begins. W-CDMA is based on the rival European Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) standard. But if Qualcomm can show EV-DO has faster data transmission and can be integrated into GSM, it will grab market share. "This is a survival tool for Qualcomm," says Julius Kim of ABN Amro Asia. "If it doesn't come up with a working model in Europe, it won't have any customers.""

????

Still no idea that QCOM holds the essential patents to WCDMA and has agreements with almost the whole wireless tech world to prove it.

The article makes it sound as if WCDMA is the gold standard, and that EV/DO is some temporary bandaid. This gets frustrating.......
