Thank You Mr Laforge for taking sometime to give us some insights into the CDG and it's work. I have one question that I never seem to get an answer to. Why cant Qcom or a CDMA vendor produce GSM-CDMA2000 overlay
and just beat Ericsson to market. If My beliefs are correct CDMA2000 is at least 1-2 years ahead of WCDMA. If they can produce a competitive product two years ahead of Ericy, and assuming an open standard is maintained,why is WCDMA even an issue. Qcom can block WCDMA and simply bring their system to market first. Assuming they can
get CDMA as one of several open market standard's approved by ETSI. This seems to be enevitable if a single standard is not approved.
In this case Qcom still ends up with a huge competitive lead to market.

I hope my question made sense, I am not shakespere!
