I did have a post about LAS-CDMA before. Did you get a chance to read it?

Bernard, True, but one of the main complaints of 1XEV is the requirement of a dedicated channel for data. The carriers don't appear to be overly concerned with data at this point, and are hesitant to dedicate only one channel, at least those of the less spectral efficient technologies. If spectrum were that valuable, everyone would have converted to CDMA by now. In the future, CDMA operators may bump up against capacity issues if and when data takes off, but right now it doesn't appear to be a big issue. DGT to issue extra 3G cellular service licenses news.cens.com. Taipei, June 27, 2000 (CENS)--The Directorate General of Telecommunications (DGT) of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications announced that it would issue six licenses for third-generation mobile communications services, one more than originally planned. Bandwidth for the additional operator will come from the new capacity to be released by the state-run Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. after the telecom carrier switches its analog cellular network system to a digital network based on code division multiple access (CDMA) technology. Chunghwa opened the bidding for the CDMA system on June 23. The system requires only 8.25MHz, freeing up 11.75 MHz that was originally used up by the analog network. The DGT has requested Chunghwa to relinquish the spare bandwidth by early 2002 at the latest. Many telecom operators in Taiwan have urged the DGT to use the extra bandwidth to accommodate one more cellular operator. The DGT said it has designated the spectrum for third-generation cellular service providers in order to encourage Taiwan's shift to the more advanced standard. Kent
