Our business goal-rapid growth through provision of low-cost services to the masses--has dictated our choice of the CDMA2000 1x technology. The reasons are: - The CDMA2000 1x technology uses a better compression technique, data packet and more efficient signaling method. These features lead to lower network operating cost and more efficient spectrum use, all of which help keep our OPEX down.
- The technology requires a smaller number of BTSes, which translates into lower infrastructure CAPEX.
- The CDMA vs. GSM handset price differentials have already narrowed and it is widely expected that by the time we start nationwide operations the handsets will be at comparable price levels.
