Eric, Good points on Q's need in term of SIM cards to sneak into GSM world. Who are those players? NOK itself? Or ERICY? I think these two companies may have purchased those smart cards from some other players. Correct? Brain H.

"The conclusion I got is that smart card industry is booming. Who are the major players in this area?" Brian - Have you checked out QI Technologies Corp. (QTC.V)? I was a little skeptical because they're on the CDNX but after reading their web site and an interview on Stockhouse, I am looking at this company seriously. I view them as being part of the backbone of the smart card infrastructure rather than just a supplier. They are eventually going to move to the NASDAQ rather than the TSE - their major market is going to be the US and it's just so much easier to raise funds there than in Canada.
