John, Thought I would give this one a try. Does it likely mean all 3 versions will use the same chip rate. No - but it does not preclude the DS & MC modes from further harmonization. I believe the chip-rate is irrelevant for the TDD mode. . A single chip rate would simplify the complexity of a dual mode phone. Is this TTD mode related to AT&T's TDMA in the US?? Is the TDD mode likely to be a dead end, or will it be ongoing. No - but AT&T would like you to think so. I believe the TDD mode is a necessity for certain micro cell configurations (sorry vague answer - not to sure about this one) Will this Harmonizing lead easily to Dual/tri mode world phones? Why or why not. See 1. Should Q rush to accept this or take their time. It seems like rapid CDMA deployment in JApan will help Q more and more the longer the implementation is delayed. Q announced acceptance as part of the ERICY agreement. Does accepting this Harmonozing mean that Q's per phone royalties on 3G phones would be lower?? No. I don't believe so. The only way royalty rates could be higher is if the ITU and ETSI rejected WCDMA in favor of cdma2000 My 2-cents worth. Robert.
