I suspect that in the later part of next yr. we will be hearing those words from one of tan's european counterparts.


Don't hold your breath. I haven't heard anything that would give me the slightest indication that the Europeans will do anything else except to procrastinate as long as possible. The Common Market regulatory body will twist and turn and do whatever it can to avoid a decsion which would give royalties to the Q.

VOD might help but it is a very very small chance in my view. All sorts of enhancements to GSM will be around to make the European consumer believe that he is getting state of the art service and maybe they will even get together with T and try and cobble something together that works for a few years just again to delay the inevitable payments to the Q but they will work this way....IMHO just watch...

and I think that Dr Jacobs has now reconciled himself to this and is going to let them carry on and their own sweet way while the Q concentrates on those parts of the World that welcome new technology.

Best regards,
