Well, well, looky here. GSM people wanting Europe to allow cdmaOne and cdma2000 into Europe so that the free market can determine which is to be the successful system. Of course they don't really mean it. Being the greaseballs they are, they really mean, "Qualcomm gives us at no charge their property and we will put it in our systems and we'll see which systems the customer prefers. To help the customer decide, we won't allow cdma2000 or cdmaOne systems to be sold in Europe." Here is what was reported: "...At last week's announcement, GSM Alliance and UW-CC-the primary backer of time-division multiple-access technology-set forth a list of prin- ciples that Don Warkentin, GSM Alliance chairman, said was meant to "bring clarity to the policy debate, and bring the power of the market to bear on the standards process." The two groups agreed to press for free-market forces, and to back the hands-off position of the Federal Communications Commission over any attempts by Congress to dictate international standards." They wouldn't know a free market force if they fell over it in Europe. Maurice
