To Marden: Most interesting. Mr. Nilsson re-emphasized that the acquisition of Qualcomm's CDMA infrastructure has not changed Ericsson's commitment to the market-driven standardization and harmonization activities which support the co-existence of two high-level groupings of technologies; EDGE as per ETSI/UWC, and CDMA technologies. The CDMA grouping accommodates three optional modes; FDD direct-spread WCDMA as per ETSI/ARIB, with a chip rate of 4.096/3.84 Mcps according to global operators' harmonized proposal; multicarrier cdma2000 as per TIA with a chip rate of 3.68 Mcps/backwards compatible with cdmaOne as per TIA (TR 45.5); and TDD as per ETSI, harmonized with China's TD-SCDMA. In the evolving Ericsson reclassification, it is curious to see that suddenly there are two groups of technologies, EDGE and CDMA. Then within CDMA there is TDD as per ETSI, harmonized with Chins's TD-SCDMA. Seems like China's TD-SCDMA is a new kid on the block. Any info on what it is and what it does? Best. Chaz
