C2, EDGE by its nature can't be made acceptable. That's like turning a pig's ear into a silk purse. No matter how you feed horses, give them their own highways, aluminium lightweight shoes, they can't compete with cars for transport.

I don't see why the USA shouldn't have collected tax from the $100 billion which was bid for Europe's 3G spectrum. The USA government and QUALCOMM lost that much money to Europe. That's real money even in US government terms.

USA company QUALCOMM developed CDMA and should rightfully own the value created by that invention. It shouldn't be given away to completely unrelated third parties. I don't see why citizens of Europe should get fancy rail systems paid for by money bid by companies for 3G spectrum when the value was created by QUALCOMM.

The USA has a big military to protect USA property. QUALCOMM's property is USA property. International intellectual property rights are in everybody's interest.
