From Unstrung: Trio Hush on Chinese 3G

"Lucent Technologies Inc., Motorola Inc., and Nokia Corp. are the only major Western vendors yet to announce a Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) (Chinese 3G technology) infrastructure market strategy, with UTStarcom Inc. touted as one of the few remaining high-profile partners for the trio.
