Hi tero,

Thanks for the information on GPS.

Since the US government owns the GPS satellites are you aware of how they structure the service? What I mean is, do they require license fees? And if so, from whom?

I have tried to follow the GPS story from an investor's point of view since hearing of the US mandate. However, I have not decided on a good play. GPS chipsets appear immature at this point (expensive, large, energy-intensive). I passed on Trimble for these reasons. A software solution looks good at this point but, again, I don't know how to play it. Any further information you have regarding Nokia's strategy in this area would be extremely valuable to me. I figure that, unless they want to give up the US market when the mandate comes into effect, then they will have to implement something.

Also, does Nokia compete directly with VOXX in the handset market?

Thanks,
Terrapin
