Lakers, << However your definition of immature and my def of immature may be different. >> I don't think they really are all that much different. << The CDMA part in the GSM1x are way mature now >> I agree. << the most challenging parts are mostly software and higher layers thing. >> I agree. << The intersystem stuffs are both somewhat untested, be it GSM1x or WCDMA/GSM >> I agree. << One thing I agree with you is that GSM1x is carrier driven. So hope Q can make some carriers make the move. >> I think you and I are both in agreement that Unicom COULD (might) be the primary driver, and hopefully they will be. Egads. We haven't agreed so much in a single exchange of posts for ages. <g> I do think that Unicom will explore alternatives (continuing overbuild of CDMA in GSM coverage areas, consolidating all CDMA - and perhaps even GSM - on a single core network). You might disagree with that. Nice post, btw, several days ago on defining GSM1x - but we DO disagree a bit on cellular history as usual (the big "splash" and what resulted and why). <ggg> Best, - Eric -
