Maurice!
Ira Brodsky is wrong on this one.He mentioned in his last post that
ITU will aaprove a family of standards.That is truth ITU is the
standard body for the world.This vote is in ETSI that is Europe.All
European countrys will follow the result in ETSI.It will not be a lot
of 3g standards in Europe .It will only be one.I don't see the problem
to have a standardbody decide which standard to use.Thats the reason
for the GSM:s success all around the world.One standard gave the
volume to get down the prices.In other areas of telecommunications
here in US everything is standardised.For example to signal between
2 exchanges SS7 is standardised.Without a standard there would be much less competition.If think the only people that think that this vote
in ETSI is not important is on this and the Frezza thread.
Why do you think that all this companys are lobbying so hard for their
standards.Do you think it's just for fun.The reason is that they know
that the result of the vote is very important.It looks like people
on Wall street is bying it also. Ericsson and Nokia up today.I agree
on you on one point.One of the reason not to use IS-95 can be the
IPR issue.But that doesn't help QCOM does it?
