Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but I just realized something, WHO CARES. Sorry to be so blunt but in all reality both standards (GSM and IS-95) and their variants were local standards that were adopted by the global community. The ITU is a larger standards setting body true but even if they decide to go with TDMA big deal. There will always be other standard setting bodies that will be willing to listen to CDMA proposals, and as long as there is a published standard somewhere it is sellable. There are implications that the standard will not be as widely visible or that it won't come from a body that has the clout that the ITU has. But all in all how many out there can name the places that IS-95 and JSTD-008 came from? The only thing that changes this argument is if the ITU has blocking power for the entire world (i.e. if they don't certify it you can't use it), but since the Americas and everyone else have different frequency allocations in the 1900/1800Mhz band I really don't think that is true. Am I missing something?
