It was an amazing journey. Well done, Irwin. To end up with 2.5% royalty's on domestic products. 50 million $100 phones in 5 years gives you a grand total of 125 million dollars in royalty's. They just spent 3X that amount in Brasil. That's about 2 cents a share over the next 5 years! They probably spent more on First Class plane tickets to China over the last 4 years! I'm going to put on my Rally Cap, open a bottle of bubbly, and celebrate the fruition of Dr. J's China Dream. Better stick with the "cheap stuff"! PCSTEL

Auntie Frank, your memory is getting slightly patchy. There was already a Great Wall enterprise touting a CDMA1 system for many years running. Proved to be a flop and was now ditched for lack of interoperability with the other CDMA1 system. This, pretty unthinkable really. When I was there –96 my Euro operator GSM roamed everywhere. Also back then the CDMA spin was that hey, we have the network now! Just watch us! Well I watched. You can´t escape a feeling of déjà vu, if you guys understand any Yuorupean. But, bottle of bubbly is indeed in order. Wouldn´t be the only bubble in this saga. I recommend a hot steam bath also. - rajala
