GSM Ex Orders--I saw where NOK's orders for new GSM base stations had dropped recently. If I were a wireless operator I wouldn't be spending new money on soon to be obsolete equipment. I suspect that, now that G3 standards are in place, orders for yesterday's equipment will fall off and stay low until G3 equipment becomes available. Such an eventuality would give the equipment makers a panic stricken, stock dipping push toward G3. I traded in my beloved NOK shares for more Q when Q was at $111 and Nok at $78. So far this has been a good move.

Mardy, re One advantage of Europe's additional spectrum, is the ability to run two systems concurrently.

No real advantage for Europe in this. cdma2000 (MC Mode) can be deployed right along side of IS-95 (A, B, or C) channels. ie. if you have three IS-95 1.25 Mhz channels you can convert one or more to cdma2000 and continue running the other one(s) as they are.

Best regards,
Jim
