<Everyone is expecting the reconstruction to be completed in internet time and it's just not realistic. >
Actually, it is realistic to do it in internet time. If the ridiculous idea of installing an obsolete GSM system hadn't been followed [and one has to wonder about who was getting bribery money from whom for such a daft idea to be established], then Iraq could have gone immediately to the latest and greatest mobile CDMA2000 and 1xEV-DO system giving cheap voice and cheap and fast cyberspace access, including voice over internet protocol.
I guess that King George II was piqued by Brent Scowcroft [who is on the board of QUALCOMM] coming out against the war [or whatever it was he said exactly - maybe it was just for a bit more time to get a bit more multilateral support through the UN]. So, he gave the business to some GSM mates. Worldcom for goodness sakes, who were rorting the tax system, not to mention shareholders - unlike QUALCOMM which doesn't rort anybody and is paying enormous taxes to the USA government. I guess some of you have heard of Worldcom. How come they get the break?http://www.ajc.com/business/content/business/0503/22worldcom.html
I'm starting to think King George II is past his use by date. He STILL hasn't got the UN reconstitution process started. That's not good enough. Now he's inflicting a crooked company and obsolete technology on Iraq. He is the Commander in Chief, so the Pentagon will do as he says.
With a top quality mobile cyberphone system, reconstruction and development could take place in internet time and be an example to the world of what USA technology can do. Communications are vital. There's no better method than the magical CDMA2000 phragmented photon cyberphone systems, which would bring peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun and love to Iraq instead of the nothingness of GSM which will allow them to talk but will lock them into a technological dead end which will be expensive to run and won't work well. Then again, maybe King George II wants them to suffer.
