You believe what you want to believe, John. China Unicom, China's number two telecoms provider, will use the third generation CDMA system of U.S. digital wireless company Qualcomm Inc.....start testing the system next year, Yang Xinazu, the chairman and chief executive officer, told a news conference on Monday After twisting in the wind the last two years while China Unicom used CCF to install 4 or 5 actual testing sites in China with Lucent, Nortel, Motorola and Samsung, don't tell me you haven't learned a damn thing about doing business in China? LOL. By the way, did you know that Motorola raised the ante with a $2 billion semiconductor factory in China. Ericsson has factories, a major R&D centre, 9 joint ventures with Chinese partners and a full-blown WCDMA trial in progress. Nokia has factories, a major R&D centre, 7 joint ventures with Chinese partners and a full-blown WCDMA trial in progress. Siemens is supporting TD-SCDMA and harmonizing it with the Nokia/IDC version at the 3GPP for Release 2000 of the specs for WCDMA, etc. And Qualcomm gets.......to start testing CDMA2000 next year? What a gracious host! I bet he's looking forward to exporting billions and billions of royalty dollars to San Diego just like the South Koreans.
