Hedgie, it was only Macao. 23.8 square kilometers of former Portugese territory.

about China Unicom securing one of the first 3G licenses in China

The best part of it is that Unicom and CDMA2000 are not going to be "reorganized" into oblivion. (The news is a month old)

Macau and Hong Kong are "special cases". Hong Kong has I believe four 3G operators and something like a million subscribers. Macau as the new international gambling mecca is the alter ego of the gov't's preferred image of the mainland.

It's the mainland that counts. Paul was there this week, and just might have something to say on Thursday about it. We've already heard that CDMA450 is growing there, which could be tremendous. The demolition of last year's big talk about standalone TD-SCDMA and the admission of a WCDMA/TDSCDMA joint effort diminishes the prospect of what could be a nasty TD-SCDMA royalty topper to the rest of the big pile of crap Qualcomm has to deal with.
