A different slant....all in IMHO and for the hell of it! ;-) Why is there this fuss about excluding American technology from the EU market when Motorola and Lucent both help formulate/promote UMTS? Motorola actively promotes it and Lucent is coming here with WCDMA. It does not seem like there is any anti-US manufacturer activity. Motorola still sell GSM equipment, but they have not been as successful as European companies for other reasons. Is it just Qualcomm and their cdma2000 that has been excluded? Answer...yes. The main US manufacturers are already over here pushing UMTS, so why doesn't Qcom (don't bother to answer)? Of course the same applies to Ericsson or Nokia if they want to roll-out IS-95, it is up to them and so far they have said no. Personally, I don't want competition in technology, because it would restrict my phone service and provide a lack of choice when roaming. With my GSM phone when I go abroad I can choose between (up to) 3 different operators. Imagine that there is competition in technology, the choice would come down to on or none. Sounds great to tout about free competition when it actually restricts it for me, the consumer.
