A recent article on TD-SCDMA in Hong Kong’s The Standard contained several quotes from Maverick China's Dave Carini. One of the other quotes caught our eye:
Although the incident at Marco Polo Bridge that sparked Japan’s war of aggression occurred in 1937, Japan had already invaded China as early as 1931 and set up a puppet state in north-eastern China called Manchuko by 1932. This makes the actual amount of time the Chinese spent fighting off the Japanese not 8 but 14 years. Since TD-SCDMA was set up in the year 2000, by applying the same logic, does this mean we can expect TD-SCDMA to be commercially ready by 2014?Wang Jing, secretary general of the TD-SCDMA Forum, an organization that promotes the technology, said: "China has put eight years of efforts into developing TD-SCDMA - the same amount of time we spent fighting the Japanese in the World War II."
