1X is essential for Europe because it eliminates the capacity constraints. That is for a 1.25 MHZ channel. Imagine what happens to the economics of data when you apply that to a single 5 MHZ UMTS spectrum or 4 1.25 MHZ channels in a 3X CDMA2000 wideband channel. If you lifted all the capacity issues for UMTS networks with a HDR 2.4 Mbps download throughput, you could finally start doing something with all the dormant fiber laying around the US waiting for a last mile solution. I think the integration of wireless connectivity to broadband networks will have profound implications for the delivery of media. It will take some more time, but QCOM will make the synchronous and asynchronous issues between 2.5G CDMA2000 networks and 3G WCDMA (UMTS spectrum) compatible. This is already being resolved in Korea where the government has mandated the 3G hardware be compatilbe with the 2.5G infrastructure.
