limtex---A lot like the US government trying to destroy MSFT instead of supporting it for the future of technology in the US . I find it really hard to believed that the growth in technology would be where it is at with out the WIN/TEL platform . BEST WISHES BILL PS I also wonder how many more negative comments can be put out by Goldmans Sach on MSFT and the tech market ? If the Government is going to break them up go ahead and do it !

Limtex, I hope the Japanese government adopts your philosophy and gives Q! some 3G spectrum in a beauty contest. As you say, why should the British and Japanese taxpayers/citizens get the money from the spectrum when it could go to the bottom line of QUALCOMM and into your and my pockets? We'd sell the megabytes cheaply wouldn't we? Even if NTT or somebody else charged a lot, we'd offer our megabytes at half-price and just give busy signals to reduce demand. [You know I'm kidding I hope...we'd charge what the market would bear...not that I should use the word BEAR when the Nasdaq is having so much fun at the hands of Jackson and Green$pan and the OPEC gang]. Also, giving Q! some spectrum would enable Japan to tell the USA that they were being free and fair as per the Telecommunications open market stuff they signed a couple of years ago. Since they all know that this MC-CDMA stuff won't work, they shouldn't sweat it. While it's failing, Q! and co will pump multibillions into the coffers of Japanese companies. So, hey, let's just do it. Let's go there... Mqurice PS: DaveMG, <QCOM is consistently backed into a corner and forced to brawl it's way out. Why does this keep happening?> If you were Ericy, you'd feel you'd had to battle your way out! They had NO CDMA until last year and were losing market share like mad. Nokia still has to battle their way out of their DS-CDMA and GSM enclave. Motorola was battling to escape analogue and the rigours of GSM competition for market share, not to mention getting CDMA working and oh no, what about battling out of Iridium. Life's a giggle, but it's also a constant battle. That's the fun of it.
