Tero: Again I admire your flexibility and slickness in putting a slant on words which were not there and are not there. Kudos for skill.

But the problem is that is not what I meant. And I not you speak to what I meant - and mean.

Since you wish to pursue this. Here is what I am saying.

Once Ericsson purchased Qualcomm's infrastructure division to supply CDMA and agreed on Qualcomm's charges for IPR, the Holy War seemed over to us naive US people. We forget that you Europeans carry on warfare as a perpetual mode. So the Japanese heat re the new frequencies was a surprise to sleepy observers such as myself. Should have known better.

So I will amend my statement to the "new reality" - there is no "new" Holy War - this is just another battle in the Holy War which will go on between Europe and the US in perpetuity. How's that for learning?

But of course, this has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that the path to CDMA 2000 is clear in Japan and elsewhere in the world outside Fortress Europa which is closed to CDMA (and presumably CDMA 2000 (MC)) forever and ever. (Except for 450 k which is ironically "Nordic" and where CDMA may find a foothold - and Eastern Europe of course) Wish you well within your walls. And let's enjoy the competition for 2nd gen and 3rd gen CDMA outside them in Asia, the Americas, and the rest of the world.

Best.
