A price-fixing ring, plus more royalty whining: < Lin Yuanfang, vice-president of the China Video Industry Association, which groups all major TV makers in China, said in an earlier interview that 13 leading TV makers were discussing forming a joint venture, one primary function of which would be royalty negotiations.>
If they don't like the royalties and can't sell their TVs, then they could go into the gumboot business and compete with Nokia.
Or, somebody in China could invent something themselves for a change. They did gunpowder, paper and money, supposedly, but it's time they did something more modern.
What with all the whining from Nokia, Broadcom, Ericy, POS6 and China, we can barely hear the Koreans. I notice that Japan is doing no whining, but is doing very well in making and selling CDMA in both CDMA2000 and W-CDMA versions. Boycott Nokia, buy Japanese! Hmmm, Sony-Ericsson is a tricky one. Ericsson are cunning dogs [useless, but cunning]. Mq recommends Sanyo, Toshiba and Kyocera. Hang on, Sanyo is outsourced to benQ. businessweek.com
Also, NEC, Panasonic, Sharp, Hitachi and my old favourite Fujitsu should all be bought before Nokia and other evil-doers.
