ehopper. I have a bias toward technology that is both effective and efficient in the short and long run. I hope to see a mirad of applications requiring higher data rates enrich our lives. I do not admire Europe's political control over its passive populations or their monopolistic restrictive trade practices as regards to telecom. Clearly NOK and ERICY forcing GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA migration down the throats of operators is a very costly migration path to an unproven W CDMA destination. Overlaying MC CDMA would be a less costly (more efficient) path to 3G that is ready now (efffective). Also, it would avoid the chuge costs for new spectrum (more efficient). But, alas Europe will go with their yet unproven W CDMA, wasteful multiple equipment replacements, costly 3G licenses, long time delays, hidden import barriers because it is the European way. No, I don't think much of the European way of doing things. JohnG
