Lucent Technologies today announced that it has been awarded a contract to supply third-generation (3G) CDMA2000(TM) technology to KTF, a leading Korean wireless service provider with over ten million subscribers. Under the contract, Lucent will upgrade KTF``s 2G network in the Kyungsang province to CDMA2000 1X, doubling voice capacity and enabling high-speed data services such as wireless Internet access and video streaming at speeds of up to 153 kilobits per second (kbps).

Meiner Meinung nach ist das ein kleinerer Auftrag, besser als nichts.
Aber Lucent brauchte mehr, und vor allem keine Verwicklungen in Skandalfirmen.
Ob wir den Kurs wenigstens noch einmal bei $10 erleben?
