What's with this assumption that an IS-95 upgrade will prevent SK from implementing W-CDMA? As if NTT-DoCoMo would be doing the roaming studies and trying to buy a 10% stake of SK to support 1X.

They have already made perfectly clear that cdma2000 is not their de facto choice; they are seriously considering W-CDMA. You can call 1X a 3G technology until you turn blue - that will not prevent Korea from going with W-CDMA if they think they have to do so to stay in step with the rest of the world. Tero
