TJ, previously you have said that NEM = QCOM. I guess that has changed now. Whatever, [as they say].

You build your own Little Wall of China against encroaching ideas such as something different from TD-SCDMA. "No, no, no! You foreign devils are always trying to get into China. We can invent our OWN mobile phones using CDMA with Chinese characteristics. Go away."

See what I mean? Apparently not. Not only do you not see the reward, but you don't even see the bait.

Meanwhile, it's Gung Ho with Nokia; but not with China who will bootstrap with TD-SCDMA, build more Great and Little Walls, and use North Korean and Albania economic principles for development, with the obvious outcome. Predictable. Inevitable. The talented underemployed in China will have to escape and work for Nokia, Qualcomm and others who are willing to join the mobile cyberspace revolution.

It hadn't occurred to me, but perhaps the Great Wall of China was to keep people INside China. I'd always thought it had the traditional purpose of stone fortifications which was to keep invaders OUTside China. Given the propensity of China to shoot at escapees and otherwise take them prisoner, that makes sense = an earlier version of the Berlin Wall.
