rel4490, Re: QCOM - CDMA v. GSMA - Attitudes - 3GPP v. 3GPP2 3G Standards <<the article you quote from is over 1 year old and was written prior to the ERIK settlement >> That is correct. One of the 3 quotes and 4 references was published in January 1999 and although when my buddy Ruffian posted it it was clear from the complete text (but not the paragraph I posted here) that it preceded the ERICY accord. I chose that paragraph because it is as applicable today as it was a year ago. CDG just shot a few toes off of potential cdm2000 standards adoption, IMO. It is unclear yet whether they took the whole da** foot or not but next weeks commentary should be interesting. The subject of my post was the lead paragraph and the news that came out of Cannes yesterday. It had not been posted here. I have stated my opinion on CDG's no show at GSM World Congress here: Message 12786348 This is where I initially posted the news that some might consider a nonevent but I consider HUGE and unfortunately Q negative. I hope I am wrong. My third quote ("there will be a huge opportunity in Europe for CDMA as an overlay or augmentation to existing GSM systems" and link was to comments made by Perry LaForge in June, and what he stated then appears now, to not be very prophetic. My final reference was to a link to an issue of The Baskerville Comm 3G Mobile Newsletter (pdf) dated 11/17/99.... gii.co.jp It relates to 3G Standards. It is going to incite some controversy. As I stated it is worth a read, AND, it is going to incite some controversy. << Unfortunately, it could be published again today and still be accurate >> It is indeed unfortunate. << It shows how little progress has been made on international standards and migration paths to 3G >> Progress is being made but slower than you and I would like to see for sure. - Eric -
