CDMA2000 Winning The Race To 3G
Morgan Stanley has dubbed CDMA2000 the leading technology in the 3G race. They point out that carriers who have adopted CDMA2000 are launching 3G services more quickly that counterparts who are on the GSM/W-CDMA path. CDMA2000 certainly has technology and cost advantages. There is simply no denying it. But with 68 percent of the world on GSM, does it matter who's first? Forget about speed and who's first. Let's talk about applications, user adoption and revenues. In the short CDMA2000 may win all all these counts. But in the long run W-CDMA will be the global standard.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
