Some sweet deals for some early adopters would seem to be very much in Qcom's best interests. Isn't this what Ericsson wants? I initially thought that this game would stretch out for as long as it takes for Ericsson to build up some real cdma capablibities. However, given that they have been working on the stuff for 10 years and are just now contemplating trials in the wind, we may have to wait a few dozen blue moons. A two year fight would be quite nice though. By that time, G* and Leap should be percolating! Your cdma2000 thoughts sound good to me. Nothing like a little progress to focus one's attention, add a new flavour to the broth and get the M & A chaps working weekends. However, this activity could well throw everything into a loop d'loop. Didn't the Q announce their cdma effort in '93, kick off trials in '95 and commercial launch in '96? If Ericsson can match that feat, they deserve W-CDMA. Especially if, they manage to coerce everyone in the industry into helping. nf
