Their arguments don't make sense. I understand that they want in on 3G technologies and IPR but they don't have anything proven to work. >With 3G, or third generation, wireless technologies on the rise in laboratories and drawing boards around the world, the Chinese government is planning to take advantage of the introduction of yet-undeveloped and nascent technologies to get a piece of the telecom pie in China. and yet at the same time, they are worried about capacity constraints. >Lei said China Unicom and China Mobile recognize that CDMA is better than GSM in terms of spectrum efficiency. As China experiences a rise in the use of mobile telephones -- and because wireless platforms may be used for much of the Internet traffic in coming generations in China -- the user capacity of networks now being built are a big concern. The Chinese planning authorities are no doubt aware of the risk involved with using GSM networks and TDMA technology for all wireless infrastructure. so they're going to build out their networks using less efficient technology while hoping that their own 3G systems will be well-developed enough to be implemented in the future? wow...talk about betting the farm on the unknown. Interesting they didn't even bother mentioning W-CDMA. EepOpp
