Hi Raymond! "If GSM wasn't to narrow it wouldn't be any reason to develop a 3'rd generation system would it?" But, GSM is wide enough for wireless consumers in Europe. Will they buy lots of 3GW because someday they can carry picturephones? Why not adapt IS95? It works. It's secure. It gives me standby times that last all day. Why send email when voice mail is so much easier? "The vote in ETSI will decide the future for all the countrys that has implemented GSM and the ones that are thinking about it" The worldwide use of different GSM frequency allocations has me wondering if WCDMA can fuel enough "me-too" in the face of better and cheaper solutions (like Qcom's Vodaphone project.) It would be unfortunate for Ericy/Nokia/ETSI to completely avoid Qcom's CDMA innovations if they can't work all the bugs out on their own. Even techno-consumers don't take too well to unreliable cell phones, even at a discount.
