The answer tot he first one is switch brand name...Period. Their basestations are used prety much intact thru Nortel and they have been shown to be one of hte most reliable and best performing out there. But nobody wants to buy into a switch they don;t know. Erivy has a switch division which spent years getting itself installed, tested, and known. It take something like 7-10 years to establish this and you have to be prepared to throw away about $1B getting there. We had only gotten to something like $700M, but it was better at this time to give it up and let someone else take it than to press it. It is a BIG money game and considering that Qualcomm was pushing every other front on CDMA and getting pretty beat up, there was one that they had to give on.
