It's possible to interprete a decision to favor 1900 MHz band as anti-Finnish, since it creates an artificial barrier to importing cutting edge GSM products. Rather than being "neutral", it actually places a burden on GSM manufacturers to convert their products from GSM-1800 into GSM-1900 (which is not trivial). The 1900 MHz would open the Brazilian market to the mainstream TDMA and CDMA products - while handicapping GSM. So the argument in favor of 1900 MHz may sound like "freedom of choice"... but actually hides a nasty little anti-Nordic bias, which has blighted so many American telecom markets. We need to recognize this insidious form of prejudice in order to fight it. A choice favoring 1800 MHz would be the proper multi-cultural, market economy decision. CDMA and TDMA already have licenses in Brazil - it's time to open the market to mainstream GSM and let the people of Latin America join the global family of mobile telecommunications. Tero
