Valueman- I thought everyone knew WCDMA is based on the GSM core network...obviously I was wrong. "To provide the new WCDMA radio access, ETSI has decided to base the UMTS core network on the core switching network evolved from GSM. The focus of this article is on WCDMA for the paired band. The Japanese standardization body, ARIB, has adopted this same WCDMA technology, initially using a 5 MHz carrier bandwidth. In addition, Japan and the world's largest mobile operator, NTT DoCoMo, have committed to implement ETSI's evolved GSM core network as the third generation core network." Quote from Review magazine, issue no.2 1998. Why do you think that the GSM community are supporting WCDMA? Do they not think that it provides the best route for them? Convergence has been happening between the various WCDMA proposals, people are giving and taking to do so.
