China is not going to let the best technology slide by and stay in a GSM stone age. They already have a couple of systems operating. There is conflict in the power structure as to who owns what and who is going to do what. China will benefit by participating in cdmaOne and cdma2000 developments. They can build millions of handsets, produce infrastructure, learn how it all works and be hired to develop it further, they can launch rockets with cdma2000 satellites, they can communicate everywhere by satellite, they have got a billion people who are sick of living in rice fields.

They want cdmaOne and cdma2000. They'll probably wait a few months to see which way 3G negotiations go before deciding.

They are negotiating with cdmaOne suppliers and fighting among themselves. They'll get over it.

Where do you get $5 to 7 from? According to my calculations the ASP is north of $350 at 7% that would amount to $24.5 per handset.
