That was interesting. No, I haven't been there, but I know about half a dozen foreigners working there and four Chinese telecom nerds. I think the key here is how much has been invested in GSM, not in what the market penetration of GSM is. Building networks accommodating 100 million GSM users (which has already happened) costs a lot. China's per capita income must be considerably less than 10% of the US level... so the investment is comparable to 10-20 times bigger investment in the considerably richer USA. 10 billion dollar infrastructure investment in China is more or less comparable to about 100 billion dollar investment in USA. That's pretty heavy. Tero
