TJ, look how much Korea is making from CDMA royalties. In the early 1990s, they decided to go Gung Ho with CDMA and have led the world, making umpty $billions in sales, royalties, and using the technology themselves to great effect.

China, on the other hand, is going Albanian/North Korean with their dopey TD-SCDMA from which they will make not a brass razzoo outside China, though they might succeed in inflicting it on some places in the Pacific Islands and Africa as part of foreign aid. Maybe Iran too and some other countries as part of trade deals.

<Another notable example is the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), a state-funded non-profit think tank. It jointly developed commercial CDMA technology with Qualcomm of the United States, and earns royalties for its patent technology under a 1992 contract. Qualcomm is barred by the contract from disclosing its annual royalty revenue, but the institute earned 51.1 billion won in 2006 and 43.9 billion won in 2005. The institute has earned a cumulative 459.5 billion won in royalties. > US$500 million is handy.

Save China from a fate worse than death. Make that call. 450MHz OFDM is the way to go. Ditch the TD-SCDMA. Go Gung Ho in the meantime with CDMA2000 EV-DO and HSDPA in W-CDMA technology. Fire up 802.11b/g/n too.
