Tero, Ericsson is the incumbent TDMA and analogue supplier to Telecom New Zealand, which is about to award a cdmaOne contract, probably to Lucent, but Ericsson seems still to be out of the hunt. Which surprises me since they have had a good nine months to recover their position and might yet pull a rabbit out of the hat.

So, Lucent seems to be winning in the international arena against Ericsson despite incumbency. That's quite a warning. Okay, I know NZ's population is about the same as a suburb of Beijing. So it's no big deal.

Incidentally, we got a report today from a 22 year old who has been living in Beijing for a year, just back to Auckland, who said that CDMA is EVERYWHERE in Beijing. Advertisements is what I'm talking about mainly. The cellphones for sale are Samsung and Qualcomm apparently. Presumably some others too, but I don't know.
