et <<Don't you just feel sorry for these ignorant stupid operators who are installing WCDMA as we speak>>

No, I don't feel sorry for those stupid operators. There is not a single working asynchronous WCDMA network in the world today. Docomo is synchronous, and still they are dying.

<<Why Ericsson claims to have shipped 10,000 WCDMA base stations to date. >> and no handsets. zero.

<<Hmmmm, Maybe you should go short all you can on these WCDMA equipment providers here>> No. Most of them will survive under their spectrum debt service, even tho they won't see 3g revenues anytime soon.

<<And I guess nobody will use EDGE either.>> Edge may be used, albeit less than I wish to see. The more an operator uses junk like gprs or edge, the more of its spectrum it wastes.
