(((( Korea will never migrate to any other standard other than QCOM's. Why? Because Koraen companies are
the world leaders in CDMAone exports. If they move to another standard they will lose that edge. QCOM's
CDMA has very much become a Korean technology. ))))

VERY good point.

I just don't see the situation as that cut and dried. Keep in mind that Korea is also the world leader in royalty payments to QCOM--I don't think they're so proud of that statistic. I believe it is premature to write off the possibility of their going with W-CDMA.

It doesn't matter. The trend will force them to do anything no matter how reluctant they might be. Chinese and Japanese have huge influence on them. If Japan and China go along with wcdma, QCOM has lost the war in Asia, period.
