This Might Bring Smiles!> Qualcomm in Talks With China Unicom on CDMA Standard, AWSJ Says Beijing, Jan. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Qualcomm Inc. is in talks with China United Telecommunications Corp., the nation's second-largest phone company, to team up in China's mobile phone market, the Asian Wall Street Journal reported. Louis Lupin, senior vice president of the San Diego-based maker of wireless phones, said no agreement had been reached, though the paper quoted an unnamed official saying the two sides may agree on a plan as soon as the first week of February. A pact with Qualcomm may insure China adapts the wireless standard known as CDMA, which is widely used in the U.S., rather than the GSM standards it uses now, the paper said. The number of mobile phone subscribers in China is expected to surge to 70 million this year from 43 million last year. Jan/30/2000 19:21 For more stories from Bloomberg News, click here.
