Chaz, << I expect nothing, repeat, nothing in Europe ... The barriers will hold IMO >> I have said this many times myself because the barriers have indeed been huge, but ... ... did you notice these paragraphs in the April RCR article about CDMA 450 I posted yesterday: >> Backers of CDMA technology hope the EU's pending mandate to ETSI asking it to standardize all technologies the International Telecommunication Union has accepted for the 3G market-which includes a Interim Standard 95-based technology may keep regulatory bodies from mandating a certain technology for the NMT 450 market. The U.S. Department of Commerce, which successfully pushed the EU to require ETSI to standardize the ITU accepted standards, also has been paying attention to the NMT 450 market in Europe. U.S. Commerce Undersecretary for International Trade David Aaron last fall told the NMT MOU it would be interested in working with the MOU "toward a satisfactory resolution of standards and licensing issues." << << Europe ... and no way to I count on anything there ... except perhaps the "Nordic" [what a joke of a name] 450 k. >> What's wrong with "Nordic"? I don't know about you but I would get great pleasure in seeing QCOM CDMA success in the Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT) 450 Market. Wouldn't you? I am not about to start taking Europe to the bank, anymore than China, but the world of mobile wireless telephony is changing. Barriers can come down. I have a long term outlook. - Eric -
