Korea was really a stepping stone for both CDMA and Qualcomm. The Korean market proved the commercial viability of CDMA. The government mandated the adoption of CDMA in '94 or so. The next push came from Sprint. Initially, Sprint tested both CDMA and GSM but decided to go with CDMA since Lucent and Nortel offered them very attractive financing plan. That's when CDMA really gained the critical mass. Brazil and Japan are ramping up very quickly. As wireless data becomes more pervasive, the competitive edge in technology would become more important and Qualcomm should rule the world. Nokia can just compete with its pretty designs. ASB
