Eric L: Re: GSM in Japan. "Very soon" might be just a bit ahead of reality.

I was talking about now. And the current generation.

Zero describes that.

As to the future, whether NTT can wait the two or three years sitting on its hands (figuratively) for WCDMA is an interesting question.

And whether WCDMA is properly described as GSM is an interesting question, since it is CDMA in its airface.

Since you follow GSM closely Eric, could you tell me if the final specifications are yet agreed to? And is there a terminal that doesn't require a truck to transport it? Curious.

And since Tero"s key test is commercial operation, is WCDMA in commercial operation anywhere in the world?

All the best. And many thanks for you help in learning about this kind or thing.
