There are harmonization efforts going on now to bring all the standards to working with each other in the future. Do a little research on OHG you will see we may move to that direction in the future. Koreans claimed their WCDMA is compatibla with CDMAone, which is remained to see. But think about it. The reason internet is booming today is because of it's great yet simple philosophy, that is a connecting different networks and makde it works. So there's no reason to believe that it won't happen in the wireless industry in the future. IMO, any efforts intended to shut out another standard is deemed to fail no matter how powerful that effort is.

The whole issue of interoprability , backward and forward compatibility are what makes me think Korea would still be committed to CDMA 2000. It makes no sense whatsoever to go WCDMA. Aside from technical attributes compatibility is the most compelling reason to consider CDMA2000. Why would Korea back CDMA 2000 now? With new spectrum, they have everything to gain by posturing with WCDMA short term. (negotiations, playing both sides of the fence). It looks like no final decision will be made until September. A change back to CDMA 2000 could have a domino effect in Asia. Our next hurdle will be working through the inevitable bugs and glitches of 2.5G. You know the GSM camp will play this up Anyone think DDI or Unicom might reneg on CDMA2000 and posture with WCDMA? IMO
