Gregg Powers: GSM to WCDMA The air interface is different, there has been no argument to negate that -as WCDMA is the air interface. WCDMA has been optimized for performance and relies on a GSM core network, as per DoCoMo and other sites. This may now bring questions and statements such as, why is it different? First 3G services were meant to be radical and no matter what side of the fence you sit, they are. In order to do this, it was recommended (ITU) that new spectrum become available -2Ghz. There is no point in building new services on an already crowded spectrum...where is the extra capacity coming from? Would like to know who out there has actually seen 3G in action and not some "this is how it will look like" trade show bunk? I must be lucky, as I have. Mika
