Dagen efter, Mats. Ei se perjantai niin paha Nokialle ollut loppujen lopuksi. Nyt jenkit alkaa panikoimaan tosissaan niiden 3G-standardin suhteen. Jos t„m„ alla oleva pit„„ paikkansa, niin Nokialla on nyt pullat todella hyvin uunissa W-CDMA:n suhteen! Tapelkaa vaan pojat Japanin hallituksen ja operaattoreiden kanssa. Nokia myy sill„ v„lin W-CDMA-tavaraa ja pit„„ matalaa profiilia. Tero Qualcomm Seeks To Promote Cdma2000 Tech In Japan -Nikkei Dow Jones News Service ~ April 14, 2000 ~ 1:39 pm EST TOKYO (Nikkei)--Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM) is looking into entering the third- generation, or 3G, cellular phone market in Japan in order to promote its own cdma2000 technology, after having had its standard spurned by all three major domestic cellular phone service providers, The Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported in its Saturday morning edition. NTT DoCoMo Inc. (J.NTX or 9437) and the nine J-Phone companies operating under Japan Telecom Corp. (J.JTC or 9434) have decided to employ WCDMA, or wide-band code division multiple access, technology if they are granted domestic 3G cellular phone licenses. The soon-to-merge IDO Corp. and DDI Corp. (DDIC or 9433) also recently decided to adopt WCDMA, which was developed by NTT DoCoMo, L.M. Ericcson Telephone Co. (ERICY) and others, despite the fact that they now use Qualcomm's cdmaOne technology. The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, however, will grant 3G licenses to only three firms. Qualcomm aims to gather the support of the U.S. Trade Representative Office in its bid to provide 3G service here, so its appearance as a fourth applicant for the license is likely to pose another telecommunications-related problem for Tokyo and Washington to resolve.
