Kayaker-- I believe a minute or two before that, in the context of MSM 3100 "wins" over MSM 3000 customers, Samsung was noted, along with MOT. (Last fall Samsung announced plans to build handsets that would use an internally-developed chipset-the MSM Scom4000-which was designed for CDMA applications.)

1/25/00 CC 2000 Q1 Earnings - Selected Transcribed Bytes - European 450 mhz 2000 Q1 Earnings Conference Call 1/25/2000 Section 4: Question & Answer Session (47 min. 28 sec.) corporate-ir.net Timemark: 19:30 Question: Is there any update on the idea of moving European 450 mhz to CDMA? IJ: There's a lot of activity on that. The group of operators of 450 mhz studied, I think, for a roughly a year's time, three technologies -- selected both GSM at 450 and CDMA at 450 as [popular ??] ways of moving ahead. We think CDMA offers great advantages because of the fact there's limited bandwidth at 450 and CDMA is so much more bandwidth efficient; plus particularly 1x providing these very competitive data capabilities much more than available in competitive systems. And so there's a lot of operator interest. There will be, we believe, trials. I suspect there could be on the side of certain manufacturers, some heated competition trying to prevent this type of activity, but I think again, the economics, the capabilities of CDMA, certainly will give a good chance to move ahead in 450. Question: You don't have anything in terms of specific product to point us to right now? IJ: Right now, the next step will be trials at 450 to prove it out and then, hopefully, moving into commercial operation.
