Does anyone have any comment on the last paragraph? "In another possible blow to foreign companies working with Unicom, the company decided to set aside plans to develop its code division mutiple access, or CDMA, technology, in favor of upgrading its global service for mobile communications, or GSM, network."

China Unicom going to upgrade GSM rather than go ahead with CDMA. Could someone please give their take on the last paragraph of the article mentioning China Unicom going public posted earlier. Is this another ploy and am I reading this correctly? Thanks.

A premarketing effort started Monday after Unicom filed Friday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. I could not find an S-1 for any company named "China" in the EDGR database for 5/12/00. Or Unicom, or United (except for some European outfit.) Anybody else have better luck?

Regarding the "possible blows to companies.... CDMA etc" article in Asia WSJ... I wrote to the author, here is the reply and original question..... <<<<<>>>>>>>> Martin, thanks for your comments. The information came from an investment banker involved in the deal. I think we will get more details on this as the issue progresses and Unicom's plans become public.
