A new Nortel (Northern Telecom) (NYSE: NT - news; TSE: NTL - news) CDMA base station introduced today at the third annual CDMA World Congress addresses these challenges. The latest addition to Nortel's comprehensive CDMA portfolio, the Nortel CDMA Minicell allows wireless operators to tailor their networks to keep pace with the needs of an ever-growing subscriber base while keeping network expansion costs under control.

Tim - How come all the MOT deals in China are for GSM? Why didn't Q get any of the gravy from Clinton's efforts in China? On another note, anybody have an idea about implications of TCI-ATT linkup for the Q? I am surprised since it seems like ATT is basically taking the idea that Sprint had for combining TCI-Comcast and Cox to provide residential telephony. Sprint backed out to concentrate on wireless and seems to have given up wireline residential to ATT. Also, what does this do for the Sprint Wireless partners which are TCI-Comcast and Cox? Will TCI sell its stake in Sprint Spectrum? I guess with the IPO they have already made this possible. Any implications of this deal for ATT to shift over to CDMA sooner? Maybe just hoping. What about a CDMA interface overlay over TDMA? If the Q can do it for GSM in Europe what is stopping them doing it in the US for CDMA? So many questions...
