I see Telstra denies problems on the CDMA2000 ditching in favour of W-CDMA. If they go with HSDPA they might do okay with speed, in comparison with existing CDMA2000. But I suspect they shot from the lip in the change, without really thinking it through [and testing it]. Mqurice

The fly in the ointment, recognized long ago by the denizens of this thread and those who battled the Dark Side on the Nokia threads, not to mention a reason why the infra makers, especially Nokia, were salivating at the prosepct of implementing WCDMA: It takes tons and tons of basestations to provide half way decent service using WCDMA. It seems insane for the carriers that are flipping to GSM from CDMA to have to invest in such an expensive migration mode. Especially since UMTS is not half of what Nokia and the Guild cracked it up to be in 1999. The UMTS imbroglio was near criminal. Investigations, prosecutions, etc., of Jurma and his ilk should be taking place in Europe. Ironic that the only ones being litigated against are the ones who should rightfully be crowing "I told you so".
