Keith: Totally not true. "With GSM, the greedy NOK and ERICY GSM camp refused to license the technology to competitors in countries like Japan and China. CDMA is a far better arrangement because of the open and fair licensing agreements that QCOM has extended" I take it was in jest. BTW Ericsson has just got the first commercial 3G contract.
