Thread, Mr. Harris Miller, IT Assoc of America, reports to Congress on Centrino, wifi, and Chinese trade issues.
Am not aware of any country having an issue with the internationally accepted wifi, other than China who wants companies to give their wifi technology to 11 Chinese companies who will then turn around and charge these same companies a royalty fee in order to do business in China.

You may know this already, but this presentation by Harris Miller, IT Association of America president makes some great points in a senate forum focused on trade. He mentions china is embracing stock options, and supports the "reed" (?) compromise stock options expensing bill which expenses stock options for the top 5 executives and nobody else.
He says part of the US problem with trade are bad trade agreements and closed asian markets, specifically using china as an example,
-software policy for chinese government preferring chinese vendors
-that "chinese only" standard that locks out centrino and standard wi-fi
-VAT differential china vs. US made chips- this I didn't know but seems horrible!
Sheesh it almost sounds like china is another Japan trading environment all over again.
The video is "democratic policy committee meeting on outsourcing", Mr. Miller is after the econmists, about 1:30 into the 2 hour media file I believe.
c-span.org
(the first hour is testimonials which was less interesting imho vs. the economists and the IT representative) |
