Thursday April 26, 10:13 pm Eastern Time FACTBOX-Country-by-country look at 3G in Asia HONG KONG, April 27 (Reuters) - The following is a breakdown of how the third-generation wireless spectrum has been or will be allocated in major Asian markets: AUSTRALIA Six carriers bid a total of A$1.17 billion (US$590 million) -- below government forecasts -- for 3G spectrum in an auction in March. Winning bidders were Telstra Corp (Australia:TLS.AX - news), Vodafone Group Plc (quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: VOD.L), Hutchison Telecommunications (Australia) (Australia:HTA.AX - news), Cable & Wireless Optus (Australia:CWO.AX - news), Qualcomm Inc's (NasdaqNM:QCOM - news) 3G Investments and ArrayCommInc's CKW Wireless. Australia had 10.3 million mobile customers at the end of 2000, according to International Data Corp. CHINA The spectrum allocation method is yet undetermined. China has just two nationwide mobile carriers, China Mobile (HK) and China Unicom , and their respective parent firms, but is expected eventually to award more wireless licences. Most industry watchers say 3G is years away in the mainland. China had 85.3 million mobile users at the end of 2000, IDCsays. HONG KONG Four licences will be awarded by auction later this year. Hong Kong will require licence buyers to allocate part of their spectrum to so-called "virtual" carriers. Market leaders Hutchison Whampoa and a joint venture between Pacific Century CyberWorks and Telstra are expected to acquire licences, while Hong Kong's other four carriers may divide the remaining two licences. Hong Kong had 5.2 million mobile users at the end of 2000, IDC says. JAPAN Japan gave away 3G spectrum licences last year to all three incumbents. They are market leader NTT DoCoMo Inc , KDDI Corp's subsidiary ``au'' , and Japan Telecom Co Ltd , in which Vodafone is in the process of boosting its stake to 25 percent. British Telecommunications Plc (quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: BT.L) owns 20 percent of the firm, but may exit its holding. Japan had 58 million mobile users at the end of 2000. SINGAPORE An auction was called off in early April when only three bidders emerged for four licences. The three buyers, each slated to pay S$100 million (US$55 million) for a licence, are Singapore Telecommunications , MobileOne (Asia) and StarHub Mobile. Singapore had 3.1 million mobile users at the end of 2000, IDC says. SOUTH KOREA Two licences were awarded in December based on the W-CDMA standard for 1.3 trillion won (US$994 million) apiece to consortiums led by SK Telecom and Korea Telecom The award of a third licence using the competing cdma2000 standard has been delayed twice due to a lack of bidder interest. LG Group units LG Telecom and Hanaro Telecom (NasdaqNM:HANA - news) have said they could enter the bidding. South Korea had 26.78 million mobile phone users at year-end, IDC says. TAIWAN Taiwan's cabinet is weighing a proposal to auction five 3G licences, possibly in October. Interested operators include state-controlled Chunghwa Telecom , Taiwan Cellular and the Far EasTone unit of Far Eastern Textile ; the Lin Yuan Group, parent of Cathay Life Insurance ; and the KG Telecom unit of the Koo's Group conglomerate. Taiwan had 17.6 million mobile phone users at year-end, IDC says.

To all. Thanks for the welcome. Very nice group, especially Diamond H. Either bring some constructive information other than hopeful, bullish sentiment or just lurk. DH, Bearish sentiment would have been welcomed, I am sure of it. <g> As I asked you on the MDD thread... I believe that after you posted that, I pointed out to you that your posts were basically nonsense on that thread...and showed it to you. I believe it was you but am not sure. Maybe you can refresh my memory.<g>

Either bring some constructive information other than hopeful, bullish sentiment or just lurk. Dear Grumpy Old Surfer Coot, If I agree to search for all of your posts on this thread that lack "constructive information", will you agree to send me a bottle of Guinness for each one I find? PS. Please respond ASAP. I have 4 of these reserved (only until Monday!!!) for the trip from San Diego, CA to Victoria, BC. blohmvoss.com

As I asked you on the MDD thread... Either bring some constructive information other than hopeful, bullish sentiment or just lurk Thanks for the welcome to everyone and especially Diamond H. So you were complaining about me on the MDD thread. I guess you are ticked off because of this comment. Note the date...Monday April 16---predicted the Fed Rate Cut even though the FED fund futures gave up on it. Also look at the bottom of the post for my analysis on Cisco, INTEL, IBM, MSFT and tell if they were not dead on--in predicting what those companies were going to do last week. I see why you were complaining...I jinxed the Nasdaq downward momentum. LOL Message 15670857 --------------------------------------------------------- Now here is another one that you were not happy about. Tuesday April 17. Message 15677481 Here is my response to you. Make a note of the short interest comments on JNPR and CIEN. Guess what, they had the largest increases in short interest in the report released this week. Check it out for yourself. siliconinvestor.com Please stop the BS. Stop criticizing people just because they don't agree with your position or your methods of analysing the market.
