B. published the story, because they had found independent confirmation to the original leak. I would tend to agree with this. Some on QCOM threads said it was a rehash of the original (Nikkei? Kyodo?) article, but looking closely at the Bloomberg article shows they have their own source. I also think this leak was probably at least condoned by higher up. Because Bloomberg is a gaijin rag, I do not think they would want to be too maverick in quoting this or that low-level loose canon and risk alienating themselves in Japan--it is hard enough as it is for the gaijin press to gain access to Japan's exclusive press network and kisha clubs without rocking the boat in a way that would anger upper management. So I do not think Bloomberg is being aggressive here in what they printed. The fact that it is not corroborated by what the DDI president says on record is not a refutation. Welcome to the land of honne and tatemae.

Tero, >>What you're missing is the context. Bloomberg made the interview after the initial leak had taken place in a Japanese newspaper. B. published the story, because they had found independent confirmation to the original leak. This combined with the Nikkei reaction gives three reasons to believe something is going on. Journalism is about independent verification coming from various sources. This is what has happened here.>> DDI president denies any decision about 3G. That's it, end of story. Geez, you're really reaching. We've got a suspect report, followed by another report with a suspect 'source' and conjecture based on stock market gyrations versus what the president of DDI has publicly stated. Please apply your Occams Razor theory. >>DDI may crumble under pressure if they're roughed up by companies backing cdma2000. But that does not change the views expressed by DDI employees before they have been silenced.>> You're backpedaling now. I was wondering when you were going to start. (BTW, I love your last statement implying Q is gonna send their CDMA 2000 goons over to DDI to 'silence' them. LOL!) Verve
