Mika - I am no expert in the field, but why should a Global standard be harmonized to a minority (i.e., the chip rate for IS-95 operators, as there are not that many compared to TDMA based systems)? Maybe you're unaware that TDMA doesn't use chip'ing? So by your argument TDMA should get no vote at all. Ericsson's goal is to produce a system that gets all the benefits of CDMA and Qualcomm technology but without giving Qualcomm any economic benefit from their installed base and existing product line. The 'compromise' is no compromise at all since it still renders Qualcomm's installed base largely worthless. (Note however that it may solve many of the problems they are having squeezing into 5MHz and thus may be something they have to do anyway. Imagine how nice it must be to be able to say that 'it's a compromise' rather than 'oops'.) Clark
