Eric,

Let's get to the really important stuff first. When my wife came home, she advised me that she had made the stereo settings yesterday and suggested that I turn up the volume control within reach of my computer. It's a funny thing about how effective the volume control thingy is.

Okay, now the unimportant stuff ... :)

If I understand you, you're contending that a proprietary architecture that hasn't become "standardized" is by definition a closed architecture. In the case of i-mode, that's true. But it's not necessarily true for all technologies. Knowing your command of this stuff, I probably misunderstood the essence of your point.

When I wrote that it's the marketplace and/or the standards committess that determine "standardization," you responded with the fact that committee involvement isn't necessary. We're in agreement. I think my "and/or" conjunction allows for that.

no harm going back over the ground so we can talk about Intel again. <g>

Please don't. :)

Regarding "open" architectures, you're right, of course, that there is no distinction between connectivity details being available at cost or free. I must have had something else on my mind when I wrote that, maybe my volume control. :) Apologies to the novices who might have become confused by my wrong statement.

I'll get back to you after I listen to the Christensen presentation.
