Lipko - the only chance that the W-CDMA proponents have to see off Qualcomm is to get governments around the World engaged in sales of '3-G" licenses then they have time to get W-CDMA deployed and can presumably take their time since there isn't much sign of working versions of W. PPoor old Q then has to sit back since the beachfornt has been bought up. This might work well for some countries like China but in Korea where the only infrastructure is CDMA I don't really understand what a 3-G license is going to do. I mean Q is just about to deploy 1X in October and that takes Korea into the World no 1 in mobile phone services and there is nothing the Europeans can do to stop it. The enxt genreation as far as I can see is too backward compatible with 1X so there you have a working 3G system sometime to the end of next year. My point is what good is a 3G license in Korea after October? Best regards, L
