Tero- Has the midnight sun gotten to your head with this review of the Qualcomm "southern strategy"? One could equally charge the Laps with their gun toting dog sleds for manipulating the ETSI to support Ericsson. They need those subsidies to keep coming because tourism just isn't there in the long winter months. Is there even a figleaf of a reason for ETSI to push a different chip rate than CDMAOne other than to keep CDMAOne out of Europe? On the other hand, since the US has already allocated spectrum that W-CDMA is planning to use, it makes sense for US congressman to push for a system that uses currently licensed spectrum as part of the bandwidth that will be available for CDMA2000 or W-CDMA (or a converged version of both). Therefore, a strong rationale for the CDMAOne proposal which utilizes existing spectrum for wideband uses. What is the rationale for the W-CDMA chiprate and why it has to be differnt from CDMAOne? Tom i<* The cynical Southern Strategy of Qualcomm is closely patterned after that of Richard Nixon. It goes like this: pander to the basest instincts of people who listen to Reba McEntire in pick-up trucks and tear up when they watch re-runs of "Alamo" on television. You can't go wrong. So it is the xenophobic Southern right wing creepoids who are now backing up Qualcomm at the US senate. This crowd pushed through the Helms-Burton law that punishes European companies who do business with Cuba. So it is possible that Qualcomm is able to manipulate them into making its case. It is every bit as cynical and nihilistic as it sounds.>
