I had not read this anywhere. I assume these editorials from Far East papers rather than US? Surprised to see such sentiment is apparently widespread. I found a couple of articles that referenced this sort of attitude....I know that there were more but I am having trouble searching through the archives of some of the papers. They were all Korean (translated)..... koreaherald.co.kr The easiest way may be to curb imports. We cannot and should not reduce the imports of the capital goods that are needed by businesses. But even in this case, we must avoid redundant and excessive investments. It goes without saying that we should control the import of luxury consumer goods. koreaherald.co.kr The buying habits of fickle consumers, who often switch handsets to keep current, was one of the major reasons for the Ministry of Information and Communication's decision to eliminate handset subsidies. The country is currently on pace to break the 3 million mark in thrown away handsets since 1998, according to the ministry's data. A side benefit to all of the research into Qualcomm has been reading all of these Korean newspapers. An interesting look at attitudes overseas....Can you imagine an American newspaper worrying about the number of cell-phones that have been thrown away? Slacker
