I'm not sure what you're asking in your last question.</p> The rights to CDMA are owned by an American company (Qualcomm), but I'm not sure that they actually did the development.

CDMA - better, technologically, but not as wise an idea in terms of fitting in with the mass market, locally

Also, I dont think CDMA is a US technology (think it was developed in Japan, somebody prove me wrong.)

And lets do it to help out of date, poorly managed American telcoms at the same time. Wow what a great idea for the Iraqi people.</p> Great - lets not only destroy the infrastructure of the country but lets give them a substandard, out of date mobile phone system that will put them behind the rest of the world for years to come.
