Stoc, your trash talk is up the wrong gum tree. My point about TD-SCDMA is nothing to do with Qualcomm. To belabour the point, Qualcomm is irrelevant to what China should do. The point is TD-SCDMA is a dopey idea compared with either W-CDMA or CDMA2000 systems. They are gradually figuring that out. TJ isn't trying to talk sense into me, he's trying to ignore some inconvenient truths about TD-SCDMA and China's political stupidity. China should go with OFDM/CDMA2000 in EV-DO style to minimize royalties to the GSM Guild and to get the best technology at the lowest price. It would also give them a way of leveraging a huge home economy to selling to the rest of the world too. They are hoping to do that with TD-SCDMA but it won't work because the rest of the world won't drop better technology for worse technology, especially when they have so much already invested in the competing systems. China should do it in 450MHz for good propagation range so that fewer base stations and power output are needed. Qualcomm is another issue altogether. Mqurice
