Hwawei, Ericsson and Nokia only knew how to put a few chips inside giant big steel boxes to cheat money out of China, India, Africa, Middle East counties. They were known for putting in infrastructure equipments but usually did not work till 3 to 5 years later. China's TD-SCDMA and Ericsson/Nokia's WCDMA infrastructure equipments were the best examples. Handset engineers are the real deals. China-trained engineers are good at copies but not innovation. That will require Hu and Wen to release even more freedom and democracy to accomplish what you wrote. How about at least 10 years time frame? """""more dollars for more defensive rockets, defensive satellite killers, and all manner of toys and should the base stations be astutely reprogrammable by remote connect, all the smarter, can have virtual, hidden, and instantly deployable jammers, eavesdroppers, trackers, ieds, radar signal confusers, and such """" OK. Hopefully those guys (engineers) will not revolt under Hu and Wen regime. This regime looked decent so far. """""electrical engineering is flexible, robust, and can offer a lot of solutions to many simultaneous equations i suppose you would next claim?"""" Yes. Generally speaking, EE are flexible here in US not there in China. Oh. The previous statement was not from my claim. It was actually from Broadcom's EE from Hong Kong who had travelled among Taiwan, US and China. My Taiwanese EE said so too. Learn more real things besides hold gold. :-)
