Tero used to argue this point rather convincingly back when used to visit these hinterlands. There are certainly many more influences which a carrier considers when making a choice about which standard to utilize than pure spectral efficiency, such as roaming capabilities and handset brands the consumer wants, which is to say that there are certainly many more influences which a carrier considers when making a choice about which standard to utilize than are dreamt of in the philosophy of the Nokia-is-Satan crowd.

Even with 1/4 efficiency it will become the world standard. Don't be so sure, why would they pay 4 times as much for less performance? The operators have already bet their lives on it. No they haven't. They've said they intend to go WCDMA, they HAVE NOT GONE WCDMA yet. Agian, I am not saying that the Euros will change their minds, but with GPRS failing, WCDMA delayed further, you never know. Sure looks like CDMA2000 position is getting stronger and WCDMA's position is getting weaker, not to mention Nokia's credibility. Time will tell. Caxton
