Re: Bellus Going To HSPA Network

Heh, who's going to finance this $1B escapade?

Nobody can borrow money for anything right now, not even a shipper of grain who's customers might be just dying to pay for the product:

Unless the financing for this deal is already locked up and there are no weasel clauses that lenders can still use this BellUs organ will never see the money, in sufficient time and at an affordable rate, to get into the GSM race.

Expect to see Rogers as the sole GSM provider for some time still, methinks...

Re: Bellus Going To HSPA Network

a billion? not likely.... the towers are already there... wave propagation in the correct format for HSPA requires what? a software upgrade perhaps,? some hardware outlay...but over time, and thats where the baseline of GSM propagates, the cost will be offset easily. Especially in handset costs, or lack thereof.

see the cbc website post above ...the projected cost is in the under half a billion costs for a Telus/Bell venture into HSPA.

It will be close to a billion and there is no upgrade path from CDMA to HSPA which means entirely new hardware.
