On February 7th, VP of Operations informed that BCP had not yet decided which technology, CDMA or GSM it would overlay. BCP will face problems with equipment vendors' financing. Thanks for the summary.... I would imagine that whoever offers BCP vendor financing has a pretty good shot at the contract....but I'm not sure if ANY of the vendors would offer it to a company that has already defaulted. TIM kicks off its deployment of GSM all others will follow theirs whatever their technology of choice. It'll be interesting to see how TIM does against the PT/TEF JV. It's not often that a GSM operator goes up against an entrenched CDMA operator. How do you think wireless data will do in South America? I've always thought markets like Brazil would represent good opportunities for BREW and J2ME. The consumer doesnt have the built-in expectations (based on the wired internet) that consumers in the US do. Slacker
