Clark,

There's been a lot of discussion about the advantages one side or the other would have if either WCDMA or a converged standard won out.Icurious whether you think it might actually be possible to compromise in such a way that both sides are "winners", or is this a technological impossibility? Do spectrum and chiprate differences in GSM and CDMAone make a simple migration impede such an outcome. It's been suggested in the past that some of the technical details such as pilot tones and adaptive array antennaes were inserted into Wcdma in order to get around Q patents. This type of disagreement seems less intractable than the chip rate frequency questions. Is this correct?Do there have to be "winners" and losers"?

Thanks for your insight..Dvae
