Donald Evans. after meeting with Romanian Prime Minister Adrian Nastase this week, said he supported recently forged partnership of Qualcomm and Romanian govt. to standardize CDMA technology in that country. “This agreement creates a new market for U.S.-developed CDMA wireless technology, and will benefit the numerous American companies which will supply equipment to build this network,” Evans said. “The success of CDMA technology speaks for itself.” Romanian wireless carrier Telemobil plans to start CDMA network in 18 cities and along major highways later this year.
