Caxton should know, from what I remember of the topic of fabless and processes, that the japanese sits on the equipment of making sillycones with enough horsepowers to make anything demanding. That is, it is not only a question of japan wanting WCDMA, also a question of how to make the transistors. (the code is a different thing, one reason I respect the comments of the NEC CEO) Ilmarinen

>> Heck, they don't even own any of the WCDMA intellectual property. << Wrong, NTT claims to own some of the W-CDMA IPR. >> Japanese industry chose to create WCDMA of its own volition. << And created PDC and PHS and to reverse uplink and downlink frequencies in their cellular service, etc. The Japanese often come up with their own peculiar standards and try to drag the rest of the world along with them to gain advantage. This time ETSI took the bait and has the hook in its mouth.
