Outside of South Korea: CDMA scores low in Asia

New from March-April issue: More coming 29 March

By Tammy Tan

SINGAPORE—Despite all the hype leading up to its launch, CDMA
(Code Division Multiple Access) in Asia remains pretty much stuck at the
starting post.

Except for South Korea, which accounts for close to 70 percent of
worldwide CDMA subscribers, the technology has hit the wall in countries
like China, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore and Thailand.

Across the region, CDMA has been plagued by economic, technological
and political problems, which have severely hampered the technology
group's bid to challenge GSM (Global System for Mobile
communications) as the dominate wireless platform in the Asia-Pacific
region. Reasons assigned for its dismal showing include lack of handset
variety, limited roaming capability as well as increasing concerns about its
ability to upgrade into a third-generation system.
