Michael...I'll tell you what I think about it...We're gonna make a &^%&*^%&*^%*&^%*&^%&*^%*& boatload of money when this standards fight is over. These articles all talk about WCDMA as if it's some new European invention, as if it's irrelevant that Q holds " a very, very strong patent position" as Dr J put it on the call Tuesday. The US govt has been saying that it supports open standards because they would appear hypocritical if they were to say anything else but "let the market decide", which might as well be the Battle Hymn of the Republic at this point in time. You can be damned sure that Ericcson understands that they can promulgate all the standards they bloody well choose but that isn't the same as deploying a real flesh and blood commercial system. They must be pretty certain by now that the US government will not sit idly by and allow QCOM to be ripped off. If the Europeans want to do CDMA without us, they're going to have to fight it out in court FIRST. I wonder how long that might take.HA!! I'm sick and tired of this stupid joke in case you all can't tell..I guess we have to be patient though. Imagine how Dr's Jacobs and Viterbi must feel. What a pain in the ass. Can't these people behave with some civility? Fortunately, we're going to all make a killing before it's over.. That's what I think... Dave
