All... a tidbit... Nextwave Chapter 11

 As most C- and F-Block personal communications services auction winners picked one of the
FCC's four debt restructuring options yesterday, NextWave Telecom Inc., winner of the most
C-Block licenses, went into Chapter 11. Responding, FCC Chairman Bill Kennard asked Congress
to make clear the licenses "are public assets, not private property." The Department of Justice
appealed the General Wireless Inc. bankruptcy decision, which made Chapter 11 attractive.

Jim,

Thanks very much for the URL.

I think you're right that the inexorable logic of the whole situation should cause carriers to sign up for CDMAone in droves, and in a sense they have.Correct me if I'm wrong but most of the new BIG networks are IS95, although the GSM camp seems to have a daily parade of 50 mil deals which eventually add up to real money.I suppose it's the potential for ERICY to "deliver" GSM that makes their standard so attractive. Why would SK Tel be "going with WCDMA"? or is this a fake too...
