The sensitive question: What happened in Finland when CDMA was to become one of the four licencees was that the question about "neighbouring" bands, guardbands,etc became important. As this is a "sensitive" thing, not much more was made public. However, guardbands has always been important, as well as filters, spurios stuff,sidelobes, etc. CDMA2000 does not separate the subchannels within one 5Mhz, in fact they overlap, and one should at least ask the question what happens to the neighbouring 5Mhz bands. The traditional sensitive thing is that this is a question of two things - the level of emergy transmitted on the neighbouring bands (under varying, different conditions as well as equipment) - the sensitivity to energy from neighbouring bands (also under different,varying conditions as well as equipment) That is, a typical case of having to cooperate to coexist in a crowded space, set up and agree on guidelines and rules, sometimes involving very intimate details (of the past,present and the plans for the future). Ilmarinen Btw, to my knowledge the application for the one of four CDMA 3G license was withdrawn, but intimate details like this are rarely hung out the window, so don't trust me on this. Btw,btw, I'm too, like others, a little tired of the "regulatory barriers" in a field which includes factors like global roaming, coexistence in the same "ether", neighbouring frequencies and bands, even interconnections, that is, something which is a prime example of regulations, guardbands and barriers. (even hanging antennas in the same mast, side by side)
