DR, Re: 3G in China. There is quite a discrepancy in the 2010 Chinese 3G sub estimates between the China Regulator-MII (480 Million- 80% of 600M) and the UMTS forum (85 Million). Also of note the MII is forecasting 56M 3G subs by 2007.
Jim:
Jeeze. I guess i have to do your cheerleading for you: there's no discrepancy at all: wcdma/umts=85M; CDMA1xevdo, cdma1xevdv, GSM1x = 395M; total 480M 3g units! i
