You don't need to belong to Dionne Warwick's Psychic Friends Network to figure this out, Ruff.

It's the old kiss & slap technique. You say really nice things about the vendor you intend to slap - because nice words don't cost anything.

The operative phrases are:

- we need to see which of the two standards will be used by the majority in the world
- we need to consider which standard will have a better handset deal
- we don't want to be a minority in the market
- vendors will sell W-CDMA equipment cheaper than they would sell cdma2000 equipment

Gee - I wonder which standard they are referring to? What could they be planning? Maybe we *should* call PFN. The number is 1900 988 2565 - but I'm warning you; it costs four bucks a minute.

re Japan W-CDMA article

Michael

I interpreted it the same way Tero did.
You clearly see another spin.

Can you amplify?
