Mucho Maas. I think the analysis is right. But the politics are difficult. It is to the advantage or the entrinched power structure including NTT DoCOMo, NOK, and AT&T to move in that GPRS direction--but only so long as they can prevent direct operator to operator competition from Multi carrier CDMA. In the case of direct competition, the best technology will use the spectrum most efficiently and allow the lowest cost/lowest price to consumers. Japan is apparantly open to competition based on DDI's decision--assuming that they don't welsh.
