China> The China (CDMA) Prize by: unibitri 18145 of 18145 The China Prize wired.com As China and the United States met Thursday to try to hammer out a key trade deal, a pair of US telecom companies jockeyed behind the scenes for mobile phone contracts worth around $600 million. Industry sources said Lucent (LU) and Motorola (MOT) are battling for contracts for CDMA technology, or code division multiple access, likely to be offered this year by China Unicom, China's second-largest state telecom operator. China Unicom is awaiting final approval to roll out a two million-subscriber system by December, a US executive close to the talks said. The contracts are not directly linked to the latest round of World Trade Organization talks that kicked off in Beijing on Thursday. But China is embracing CDMA technology as part of a flurry of market-opening initiatives linked to its 13-year quest to join the WTO.
