Mika,
I think you are confusing the handset business with the infrastrcuture business. The infra has to support all modes..the handset can support one, two, 3, or 100 if it wants. Look at today, the handsets can support PCS, CDMA800, GSM, analog, etc if they want.
I think that by having the infra support all 3 modes, then the best handsets will win out in the end. If there has been no WCDMA mode handsets to date and IS-95 is on the 5,6,7th generation, then which one will the consumers choose if it comes to size, battery life, features, etc?
Perhaps you can stick to apples and oranges... |
