I'm not sure the linked article encapsulates all the issues at play. It's simplistic to break the matter down to FDD vs. TDD, and Ericsson's position is as much an aspect of its own bid for commercial dominance and success as anything else. "... some wireless companies and regulators had wanted to restrict official ITU status to technologies within the 3G roadmap." "Some" being who, mainly? arcchart.com "ITU approval would ease access to spectrum for WiMax operators and would position the technology for participation in the ITU's IMT Advanced process that aspires to define 4G wireless by 2009, ahead of deployment in 2011." The first round, in twelve-round fight. "For years access to the IMT-2000 Extension Band (between 2.5 GHz and 2.69 GHz) has been subject to intense political and technical lobbying, with the entrenched interests of the 3G community coming into conflict with backers of up-and-coming WiMax technology." Holy cow. That's it? The 3G community vs. WiMax? And WiFi? Open Spectrum? What about incumbent/mobile operator revenue erosion concerns? Well, at least Ericsson's view was articulated. Somewhat. Jim
