TJ, that's a giggle: <china based manufacturer making millions of one component, for china use, and millions more, for global use, feeding the component into chain that aggregates tens, hundreds, thousands of other components into final products, surviving by being the smartest and brightest and most productive, >
That's fine for lead-painted toys for infants to suck, but when it comes to things like mobile cyberspace, China is sticking with the tried and failed.
TD-SCDMA is a great joke and people are politely sniggering in private as China bumbles along failing to make the grade. Nokia, Samsung, Motorola and sundry Japanese are very grateful that China is shooting itself in both feet.
Nobody around the world is going to buy China's dopey TD-SCDMA. D'oh!CoMo tried such a trick with PHS and i-mode en.wikipedia.org with the same level of success as China will have [but more locally than TD-SCDMA will probably have].
You have a chance to fix it up and win a brand spanking new 450MHz OFDM-powered phragmented photon cyberphone. You could probably even get a piece of the action as the $umptybillions flow. Make that call. Hu Jintao is bereft of good ideas. Starting a war over Taiwan is NOT a good idea, any more than King George II invading Iraq to show Saddam who was boss was a good idea. Lead-painted toys for children is not a good idea. Melamine is not nice to eat. Stealing intellectual property is not a way to excel.
As you explained above, for whatever it was you meant, the principle applies even more to 450MHz OFDM.
So far China is not smartest, brightest or most productive. China is stumbling, bumbling and shooting itself in the feet, with dopey TD-SCDMA, which is nothing more than a way of stealing intellectual property and going Albanian. Heck, North Korea will probably join up with South Korea and go ahead of China, Gung Ho on CDMA [and then OFDM] which South Korea is full of, while China bumbles around with TD-SCDMA bung cellphones made of melamine and painted with lead, infected with H5N1 and SARS [special administrative regions].
Make that call! Heck, I'll even throw in Taiwan, which will want to join up anyway as a SARS place if China starts doing things sensibly. If they made citizenship a tradeable asset, I might even apply to be Chinese.
