I wonder if this will finally bring the Great Wall Telecom delays to a decision point. Does anyone know what type of JV models are allowable in China these days? It seems to me that if LWIN can find the funds, they should purchase the PLA's share of Great Wall. Most QC investors have long forgotten that CDMA is, at least in theory, ready to launch in 4 major cities in China. Any positive announcement should at least inch us a point or two closer to Maurice's target of 80 by year 2000. Ramsey AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE Beijing is forging ahead with plans to divest the army, armed police and judiciary of their commercial interests by the end of the year, the People's Daily reported yesterday. Official registration and asset appraisal of all enterprises in the multibillion-dollar business empire was completed by the start of this month, official sources said. The firms' transfer to special state offices would be completed before the end of the year. Only after that will the enterprises be restructured and divided according to line of business. In July, President Jiang Zemin ordered the People's Liberation Army to give up its vast business empire amid concerns over rampant abuse of power by military officials. Similar orders have been given before without much effect. The issue appeared to have slipped off the agenda until October 6 when a meeting of the Communist Party's Central Committee, the Central Military Commission and the State Council confirmed the plan. They said all enterprises run by the PLA, the People's Armed Police, the courts and state prosecutors would have to be handed over without compensation by the end of the year. After that meeting, the National Office for the Handover of Army, Armed Police and Judicial Businesses was created and given three tasks - appraisal of the enterprises, their handover and finally restructuring. It is under Premier Zhu Rongji's direct control, with Shao Ning, head of the State Economic and Trade Commission's enterprises department, as director. In lieu of payment for the enterprises handed over, the army will receive a hefty increase in its central government budget, according to army sources. More than 20,000 companies run by PLA units have raised revenues believed to exceed the annual military budget of US$9.7 billion (HK$75 billion). scmp.com

some 1XRTT info: >I assume when you say they changed the modulation scheme that they >went from QPSK to some higher PSK. But, in order to get a higher >data rate per bandwidth they need to couple that with a higher SNR, >and of course in a CDMA system the noise floor for one receiver is >the signals for the others. I.e. a no win situation. In reality IS-95A was not true QPSK in that it didn't have independent data on both I & Q phases. In 1XRTT that is the case. In addition two other things have changed: much higher rate of power control (from 50Hz to 800Hz which is a big win under certain scenarios) and much better coding (turbo coding for higher data rates). There are some other changes (transmit diversity, private pilot etc.), but these are the ones which cause the big wins in the Forward link. Also there is now out of band signaling to provide much better packet data protocol. On the reverse link the modulation is very different as well. The big win is with continuous pilot allowing coherent demod at the basestation. Agree about the higher PSK, and it is not in the proposal. Also agree about the noise floor of one receiver being the signal of all other users, and faster power control helps a lot here.
