The anouncment ofthe threat to the Korean market wouldn't be so bad if the Koreans let there be a free competition. Japan seems to have allowed W-CDMA to compete with CDMA2000. Look at todays announement from Japan. Q will eat the competition alive. I wonder if ERICY, NOK and their EU muscle will allow the Koreans to permit a free competition of both systems. Yeh right....they just love free competition against their favourite companies. Why is GSM allowed to operate in the US and where is the Commerce, Dept and Mrs Barshevsky and for that matter DoJ?

As IJ said in February, "it's a land grab out there." re. idler's query: Ericy offer to reduce "royalty rates" to Korean carriers: given that the stakes are huge, is it possible Ericy could be "packaging" its effective "royalty rate" with a reduction in its budgeted operating margins to offer a reduced "rate" deal? i.e., Ericy passes through Q's effective rate, discounted by Ericy margin squeeze. Risky business, that. Steve
