""""If Korea had gone GSM, I wonder how well the Korean operators/manufacturers would have done? I think we would have seen precisely as many Korean handset manufacturers as their are Taiwanese...zero.""" First of all, there are many Taiwanese handset manufacturers now in China and Taiwan. Though they are "contract manufacturers" for Nokia, MOT, ERICY, etc. I think you mean to say there are zero Taiwanese "brand name" handset manufacturers like "Samsung" or "Nokia". That is another story as to why there are no "brand name" Taiwanese handset manufacturers. Korean gov. and manufacturers bet big and took huge risks on CDMA then and succeed now and in the future. Nokia and ERICY were once bet right on GSM but peak at the moment. They were all doing the right things somewhere along the time. """"As in his points about Unicom (a dual network will be tough to operate), his comments are correct. I have just noticed that he generally misses applying his logic to GSM/TDMA proponents (in that case, Cingular and AWE)."""""" He would never be objective if he only applied one side story to see the whole picture. You are way above his writing and reasoning skills. How come you are not an analyst? BH
