"an executive at one of the three companies said." To give credence to an article based on the above as the source is reaching, to say the least. This is suspect journalism at best. Placing bets on "an executive at one of the three companies said." is risky business, particularly when it is denied by the President, but people believe what they want to believe....

<...I tend to think that the Japanese stock market knows more about the local operators than people in USA or Europe; that's my call...> Gee, using a stockmarket as an arbiter of intelligence? I wouldn't depend on a stockmarket to determine much at all. A stockmarket price is nothing more than the tension between buyer and seller viewpoints. It isn't a supremely intelligent being. Yes, I know 'everything that is known is included in the market' and slogans like that. Also, the idea that locals know more than people from outside is dodgy. There is a peculiar tendency for people too close to action to be a little biased and blinded. Bloomberg might be a wonderful reporting organization, but anyone who has had even a passing acquaintance with media reportage knows that accuracy is an early casualty of the reporting. Facts are often, or even usually, outright wrong! Let alone balance and perspective. Sure, the DDI business leader might dissemble, stonewall, mislead etc. But let's use Occam's Razor. DDI hasn't decided. Bloomberg got it wrong. Pretty simple. Explains it all. Makes sense. Stuff like that. Or, let's use Machiavellian analysis. Everyone is deceptive, dishonest, manipulative and sneaky. Maybe even to the extent of perverse self-destruction to allow for irrationality. So, DDI is still likely to go with cdma2000 as the best option after doing a triple or only double-agent trickery. NTT is really going cdma2000, but has fooled DDI into going cdma2000. But both are really conspiring with Mighty Q! Nokia better have both types ready, no matter what. Suit yourself Tero, Maurice PS: Ooops, just caught up with thread and Verve has also suggested you use good old Occam, who's getting a real flogging. What about Bill Frezza? It's about time we tried reviving him with a good flogging too. Remember Business Wire publishing the April Fool's joke about Webnode.com? You can't believe everything these reporters write. When was that alleged DDI leak anyway? 1 April? webnode.com Subject 27088
