Better description of opening of Chinese market to CDMA: totaltele.com Bottom line: CDMA has been severely handicapped until now because of close ties between the GSM service provider and the regulatory ministry. Expected mobile phone growth is 12M by end of 2001. If CDMA is 1/3 of that, that is about $4B in sales and at a 5% royalty that is $200M in profit before taxes - completely ignoring ASIC sales.

Hi Jim even though MOT claim in there website to leading the way (ha ha) in CDMA, I still CAN'T find anything, anywhere on their cdma handsets? market trials for 5 years! get with the game. regards Bruce "Motorola deployed the world's first commercial CDMA (code division multiple access) system in Hong Kong in 1995, and the first CDMA cellular systems in the US and Latin America in 1996. We were the first company to install CDMA infrastructure in China, the first to introduce a single-line CDMA fixed wireless terminal for direct connection into telephone equipment, and the first to create a self-contained microcell base station for CDMA. Thus far, Motorola has been awarded more than 100 contracts to deploy trial and commercial CDMA systems in 26 countries, and we have launched 38 commercial systems. In 1997 alone, Motorola was awarded nearly $5 billion in CDMA contracts. We won the largest CDMA contract ever awarded in Japan. We have won 13 digital wireless local loop contracts for fixed telephone service. We recently announced commercial availability of our SC-725 800MHz CDMA phone in Korea, Hong Kong and the US. Our 1900 MHz model, the SC-925, is currently in market trials. Motorola, through its worldwide experience in digital cellular implementation, is taking a leadership role in developing the next generation of wireless systems. These new Motorola systems will enable exciting new applications such as wireless multimedia, anywhere, anytime access to the Internet and seamless service in home, office and mobile environments."
