//...by the way, where is our Monday ERICY infrastructure buyout?//

Q! has insisted any deal would be comprehensive which means that until Ericy understands the chip rate they need to use along with agreeing everything else, there is no deal. Ericy obviously thinks there is mileage [to coin a phrase] in delaying things longer. Perhaps so they can get China over a barrel with increased sales of GSM.

China is in a quandary. They want to avoid high royalties on cdmaOne and cdma2000 so are supporting the 'everyone in the world versus Qualcomm' arrangements, but every day that goes by they have to buy more GSM junk which they'll have to replace, and pay a lot of money for the privilege because CDMA in whatever flavour will be a lot cheaper than GSM, even with the 20% 3G royalties which Q! should be charging for such amazing technology.

There must be a lot of pressure in a lot of 'high offices' in a lot of countries over the 3G discussions.
