Chaz, And the best lawyers available should look at how to cancel the Ericsson contract asap. At a minimum, the threat to take such action should be real and actionable. There appears to be considerable basis for apparent cause Why isn't management sharp enough to have already done so?? Is it an exclusive contract? Why would G* have signed such a document, unless it contained performance standards, which you and others would lead me to believe are not being met? If this is truly a large factor in the lack of growth in G*, we are in deep do-do. Regards, Jeff Smith

Chaz, you speak of the Holy Wars in the past tense, as if they were over. Ericsson changed sides in the war when they made a seperate peace with Qualcomm in March of 1999 qualcomm.com but that does not mean the Holy War is over or that Ericsson has been forgiven in Europe for its betrayal of the cause. Ericsson has rubbed salt in the wounded pride by introducing its own CDMA phone for the Americas, the first of many to come. ericsson.com However, the R290 is the first Ericsson CDMA capable phone requiring approval by European regulators since it changed sides in the Holy War. Regulators may be extra cautious to protect the European consumer from possible harmful effects of this new technology and will take their time. Ericsson may have had a change of heart about Qualcomm's technology but the regulators may have not. Foot dragging by the regulators may the the price Ericsson has to pay for changing sides in the war.
