Hold it right there, chaz - there is nothing "new" about W-CDMA. Discussion about W-CDMA started on this thread in 1997. This was the time when no US newspaper had any coverage on W-CDMA. Nokia is executing the W-CDMA strategy it formulated clearly in 1997. In 1998, Nokia was already involved in close collaboration with NTT-DoCoMO on W-CDMA development. The news releases can be found at Helsingin Sanomat archives here in Finland. If San Diego Tribune failed to report on these developments - this is their shame. But W-CDMA development has been widely covered in European press for years. Back then, Qualcomm boosters refused to believe that W-CDMA exists. And now? Now you are trying to portrait W-CDMA as a "new" development, aimed at Qualcomm. There was no cdma2000 when the W-CDMA initiative was started. You have the whole situation mixed up, chaz. It's true that there is one strong 3G standard here - and one copycat attempt which seems to be late to the market. But you have reversed them in your mind. Read again the DDI executive interview and how the situation is described in the article. It took a Japanese newspaper to finally set the facts right. Apparently the US press is not willing to address this issue. Tero
