(OT) Well the Koreans obviously care...Qcom helps the Chinese for nothing, yet the people that actually got cdma to be a reality got kicked in the crutch. And that hurts. Agree even with deals they probably would be paying more to the GSM crowd, but then they would have a market roughly 10 times bigger.

c2, << the Koreans had gone into the GSM business >> The Koreans are in the GSM big time and getting bigger. I believe that on the handset side, 46% of Samsung's unit volume is now GSM. Although they may be having problems with the initial model (which is very late relative to their release promises) that GPRS model looks pretty darned good and they have more to follow. They will of course be providing VoiceStream with the Microsoft based 'stinger' (some one of these years). In preparation for 3GSM, LG got into the game even earlier than Samsung on the infra side.
