bg - OK so does this mean that Q has Palm and Handspring presumably everywhere there is a CDMA provider? That is a nice chunk. But we have to watch DT who have come up with a timely announcement that the German government will dispose of its remaining stock....just in time to allow it to qualify for US approval to go ahead and buy the GSM provider here. In my view their aim will be to assist removing the main bastion where GSM doesn't have a total monopoly ie the US. Watch for very very very cheap deals on GSM service the minute DT closes its deal here. Difficult to do but it will be difficult for them to achieve their aim of the removal of all competition without making the US cdma-2000 free. Can't have the worlds major market being supplied with a system that is far superior to their beloved GSM so then just eliminate the competition. Then the Europeans can say...."What other system! Of course we are an open market." Meanwhile they blocked, WCOM&FON and now AOL&Warner. And no-one says boo! On the other hand they threatened the US with God knows what if their DT was stopped from its acquisition in the US. WAs going after MSFT in the face of all this unfairness in World markets really a priority. Better to just ask their regulators what US business they will allow to prosper and what they will not in the first place. Best regards, L
