MicroE: I wrote an article in Asian Communications (belive it was April edition) concerning the various options in the Far East. In this article I wrote that there would be an interesting prospect of cdma2000 and WCDMA, as operators migrate and also get new spectrum.

To answer who needs new spectrum, the thing is the operators want it not just for the new services (bandwidth hungry) they can offer but also for 'standardised' roaming. Dual band is by its nature cheaper than dual mode, just look at the success of dual band GSM roaming (900 & 1800)in this regard.

Cheers,
M

Korea does not need new 3G spectrum for at least 3 more years

Wiht the news that China now is going to do spectrum auctions, I think it is getting abundantly clear that the main reason for all this 3G spectrum talk is the governments want the money.

I am coming to think Maurice is correct that now the governments are competing with QCOM. More efficient use of spectrum equals less need to transfer revenues to the respective governments.
