laodeng-- "China Mobile is currently, at this moment committed to wCDMA" Have to wonder if China Mobile is committed to much 3G expense. The tie-up with Vodaphone... which at about the same time bought more heavily into Japan Telecom which shortly afterwards told us "later" on wCDMA... is not promising. Vodaphone seems most committed to GPRS, and delaying 3G CDMA expenses wherever possible. If GPRS works, until $10-20 billion shows up on Unicom's doorstep for a big enough 1X rollout to embarass however much GPRS gets onto China Mobile's big GSM network, wCDMA royalties will probably come only from a small elite group of corporate subscribers. All of that is a lo-ong time coming. chinaweb.com vodafone.com.au
