Webster: The subsidy may have a silver lining for QCOM as it may have created a pent up demand for new 1X devices and service. Not to mention the fact that the subsidy freed up capacity that the producers can redeploy to export markets. It would not be in the Korean interest to host the upcoming Chinese delegation only to say, "CDMA is great, but we are tapped out in our capacity. We should have more available in 2002." The Koreans are the cutting edge as far as CDMA goes. They are 'wowing' the world with their handsets. The more they export, the more market share they gain from the 'stuck in the 90's' Europeans.

JohnG chinaweb.com China Unicom authorized to launch CDMA unit Sep 6 2000 5:18PM Homeway Officials and industry experts have reached an agreement that China Unicom, the sole telecom operator in China running CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) telecommunications system, should re-launch its CDMA project as soon as possible, China Daily reported today. They also suggested that China Unicom form a new subsidiary to specialize in CDMA network in a bid to strengthen its performance in the country's telecommunications market. CDMA system is of paramount importance for China Unicom to compete against China Telecom in the domestic market. Once in operation, the system will help China Unicom to grab a larger market share than at present, they said. In another development, China Unicom's strategy to develop narrowband CDMA-95A, which is compatible to CDMA2001x of the third generation of telecommunications, will contribute to the smooth transition from the current narrowband network to the third generation mobile telecommunication system, sources from the Ministry of Information Industry said. China Unicom was involved in the construction of CDMA system in 1999. Copyright © 2000 Beijing Homeway Info Media Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
