While W-CDMA is expected to carry 80 percent of the global market, the market for cdma2000 is expected at only 20 percent. I have to admit that I used to take statements such as above for granted, assuming there is some truth to it. Not only is it undecided, I think w-cdma may just be vaporware. DoCoMo is supposed to launch some type of a patched up w-cdma next spring. We shall see. Ramsey

"While W-CDMA is expected to carry 80 percent of the global market, the market for cdma2000 is expected at only 20 percent. " This absurd mantra seems to be stuck in the computers that reporters use. When will someone, anyone, reexamine this premise which seems totally out of line with any reasonable expectation for the future - especially as the GSM "upgrade" path loses speed and robustness and CDMA2000 proceeds at full speed. And this residue sentence is a holdover from prior to Spinco. Best. Chaz
