pcstel: You make a good point. Europe is good at closing the doors to competition and technology that can work. Fortunately, Qualcomm is determined to help them develop a functional WCDMA system, no matter how spectrally inefficient it may be. Don't you think it's kind of funny that CDMA can deliver 3G voice and data on a 1.25 MHZ carrier CDMA2000 1XEV (DV) and data only (DO) on a second 1.25 MHZ carrier. At the same time, UMTS networks require 5 MHz for the uplink and 5 MHz for the downlink for a total of 10 MHz - some of which are paired and others that are unpaired. It's a MCF.

Hi pcstel

<Actually, I think the Europeans Regulators understand the business of telecom much better than their US counterparts.>

That was yesterday, and yesterday is gone!!

Europe today.......I don't see much 3G action in Europe, unless you want to count the Billions of $$ spent by carriers for spectrum? And....all of that just because of a greedy dream of a few Nordic companies.

Time will tell.
