"early implementation of third-generation (3G) cellular networks on the mainland." 3G is called CDMA2000 or WCDMA they are patching their existing GSM network whille they plan the rollout of 3G. The upgrade path for GSM arround the world is through CDMA so no matter how much fud is arround Qcom still gets paid. P.S. there are better articles explaining the facts then the one you quoted.

<That's not the way I read this article> I think it's the same thing: < as government officials push for the early implementation of third-generation (3G) cellular networks on the mainland> I believe this is still CDMA, it just hasn't been decided 'what type' of CDMA. <abandoning plans for a nationwide cdmaOne network with initial capacity for 10 million subscribers by the end of 2000."> CdmaOne is the 'top of the line' QCOM CDMA... and would probably have used more IP protected QCOM features [this is my poor lingo here], 3G is still going to be CDMA as far as I know. The whole thing is confusing and gotten out of hand, the BIG thing for QCOM [IMO] is what does 3G turn out to be. DAK
