Walt! "Qualcomm wants a converged standard. They say lets field test the differences and go with what works best. Fair??" No I don't think it's fair.If you want to test every proposal in the field before you specify it the standrdization work could take 10 years.What QCOM is saying is that lets go with IS-95 until something else is proving superior.That sounds good in the news and the public but in reality that means that nothing else than the IS-95 solutions will be implemented.It's very difficult to prove that something is superior in a lab.You will only see how a system works in a real environment with a lot of subscribers. "Why isn't UTRA a complete proposal?" As you probably know ETSI decided on WCDMA in Februari.A final version of the UTRA is of course not ready.Ericsson and Nokia probably has ideas how it should look like.But there are over 2000 votes in ETSI.I think Ericsson and Nokia has less then 100 of them.It's not like everyone seems to think that Ericsson is running ETSI. /R
