Nokia and Ericsson have said they've each separately reached milestones for cell phone equipment that uses wideband-CDMA, the mobile phone standard expected to dominate its rivals by 2005.
With the planned switch-off date for Telstra's CDMA network just weeks away, a crucial report into the replacement Next G network that could stymie the closure has suffered delays.
