DDI, now Korea, déja vu In all likelihood, we'll know more next Wednesday. But it looks like this wCDMA nonsense is posturing until the real decisions are made. There is no engineering, political, or economic reason to go with wCDMA. Let's hope that cooler heads get a grip on this over the weekend and early next week. I can't believe that Wall Street analysts are all oblivious. ("Never underestimate the stupidity of mankind"). Governments such as Korea make more sensible decisions when push comes to shove and money has to be put on the table. (But again: "Never underestimate the stupidity of mankind"). Isn't Samsung, the Korean powerhouse (and, I mean, powerhouse), committed to Qualcomm technology lock, stock, and smoking barrel? I think Qualcomm is going to get a three-point play by next Wednesday. I find it highly doubtful Korea Telecom will change direction. The Korean cellular system is state-of-the-art. Once KT stays the course, the other two, SK Telecom and LG Telecom, won't have the "economic cajones" to go in a different direction. They would have to take on KT and Samsung. Good luck. WCDMA is vaporware. - john -
