Tero:

Just who is fantasizing? Did you or did you not participate in the Frezza Forum? Did you or did you not pontificate alongside Bill & Company as to CDMA's technological impossibility? Give me a **bleeping** break. While you are off in revisionist wonderland, can you please tell me how Nokia put the first man on the moon and how Ericsson invented the transistor.

If Ericsson and Nokia have been working on W-CDMA for "7-9 years", why are their systems still in the precommercial stage? Please show me one...just one...commercial W-CDMA system ANYWHERE in the world. Go on, find it for us! Please explain why Nokia bought an IS-95 license from Qualcomm and agreed to pay royalties instead of simply introducing a CDMA product that they designed themselves. Does Nokia like paying royalties? Since, as you claim, Nokia already had CDMA technology, management was obviously...what...tricked by fairy dust into believing that it needed QC IPR to do IS-95? While you are at it, please explain why Ericsson acquired Orbitel, and IS-95 (Globalstar) licensee. Lastly, please explain, in precise, understandable and logically consistent terms, why ...if DoCoMo, Ericsson and Nokia have so much invested in W-CDMA...why, pray tell...why, would the former offer to build a "bridge" to IS-95? Are you suggesting that DoCoMo management, in the spirit of Christmas, charity and goodwill to mankind, decided to alter its standard, 7 to 9 YEARS worth of R&D and all the associated software, semiconductors and equipment, just to be kind to us 'mericans? Fantasies or delusions??? Give me a break Tero.
