Note that CDMA2000 1X takes 1.5 minutes to download a song using 1.25 MHz of spectrum. WCDMA fans might resopnd that WCDMA will download this same song in 61 seconds -- BUT THEY WOLD LIKELY FAIL TO MENTION THAT IT TAKES AN ENTIRE 5MHz TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. Why not use CDMA2000 1XEV which will download the song in only 11 sec using a mear 1.25MHz of spectrum. ARF! ARF! See slide No. 15 qualcomm.com

John, I agree that Euros want to slow the pace of everything and not only telecoms. But, far from starting a Transatlantic War, I have to point that the US ILECs are not exactly revolutionary. Look to the death of ADSL. This is a typical example of telcos trying to arrest progress. I tell you more, you are going to see a US handbreak in wireless technogies. That's because the uS is more wired-centric the the Euros. Just wait and you will see. 3G will do a lot to dissassemble the Euro remaining socialist slant. This deployemtn is not going to be a repetition of the past. Is going to be somehting really new.
