>>>1. Since DoCoMo has already become the first big success in the 3G world... What do you mean? There is no 3G commercial system generating revenue yet. >>>4. Which will come first, a Nokia commitment to Qualcom's 3G version of CDMA or a Qualcom commitment to 3G WCDMA? Qualcomm is committed to both CDMA2000 and WCDMA. Qualcomm is putting most of its efforts behind CMDA2000 because they believe that the first to market technology will have a big advantage. I firmly believe that CDMA2000 will beat WCDMA to market. Interestingly, it is the doubling of VOICE capacity that attracts carriers the most concerning QCOM's 1X technology. The higher data rates will benefit them later as the Wireless Internet becomes more widespread. -Jay

More regarding Post #1: >>>3. When and where will a CDMA based competitive system be up and running? Will it be judged as successful? South Korea, followed by North America. Qualcomm claims that South Korea will be up and running with 1X CDMA2000 by the end of the year. No one knows for sure, but my guess is that you will start seeing 1X phones in North America in about 1 year. As usual Verizon will probably be first to market. Airtouch, which was absorbed into Verizon, was the first to bring CDMAOne to North America. -Jay

Sisuman, NTT DoCoMo has zero 3G. If you mean i-mode, you are devaluing language. i-mode has zero to do with 3G other than it's for sending data, same as 3G will be. Nokia will commit to MC-CDMA and soon. Q! is not only committed to DS-CDMA they provide nearly all the technology for NTT, Nokia, Ericy etc versions of it and all other mobile CDMA. Yes, Mot will be competitive in 3G infrastructure. CDMA systems are up and running all over the place. In 2001, fast CDMA data for MC-CDMA zone will be in business. Mq
