Vman: Remember how astute the Japanese were in the 70-80s wrt their real estate purchases in the US? It is history repeating itself all over again. Then: "Real estate is so expensive here in Tokyo, therefore, it must go up everywhere else as well." Now: "We are selling the heck out of GSM and i-mode, therefore, it must work everywhere else as well." They have been working so hard to get their domestic economy in shape, they need bath. If they want to come here to take it, that is fine with me. Jeff Vayda

>And AT&T? What the hell else would they choose when >DoCoMo hands them $10 billion and says "Will you be >my friend?" My old friend Valueman. Why would DoCoMo support GSM? They have no interest in it at all. In more understandable terms: its like NY Mets supporting the Farjestad ice hockey team from Sweden. However, they (not the mets) have a big stake in WCDMA. But either TDMA or GSM, it was all the time the same WCDMA story anyway. Another thing is that there is an illusion on this thread that after 2G the next step is 3G. Everybody else knows that no, it is going to be a GSM based 2.5G instead. AT&T realized this. - rajala
