I think this NTT FUD should play right into QCOM's hands when cooler heads prevail. Ever heard of HDR?

Turkey analysis (from the Washington Post). Real Turkey Talk By Walter Nicholls Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, November 15, 2000 Last year the U.S. Department of Agriculture standardized poultry labeling terms and laws, outlined below, to help shoppers know exactly what they're getting. Frozen: "Raw poultry held at a temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below," according to the USDA. Frozen turkeys should be defrosted in the refrigerator, not on the counter. Fresh: The USDA says a "fresh" turkey is one "whose internal temperature has never been below 26 degrees" (the temperature at which poultry freezes) and "the product surface is still pliable." Fresh turkey should be cooked within one or two days of purchase. Other: Raw poultry that was at one time frozen "below 26 degrees but above 0 degrees" is not required to bear any specific terms such as "hard chilled" or "previously hard chilled," says the USDA. Basted: The popular brand Butterball, the largest processor of turkey in the United States, is "basted," meaning, according to the USDA, that it has been "injected or marinated with a solution containing butter or other edible fat, broth, stock or water, plus spices and flavor enhancers." Kosher: Poultry that is minimally processed, often with a few feathers remaining here and there; it is salted and prepared under rabbinical supervision. Free Range: Technically, free-range means only that "the poultry has been allowed access to the outside." USDA regulations do not require farmers to feed anything special to turkeys sold as free-range. Their living conditions, both indoors and out, could be crowded. Natural: When a turkey is labeled "natural" it must be a product containing "no artificial ingredient or added color." But "natural" does not indicate what the bird was fed or how it was raised. In fact, all turkeys, according to the National Turkey Federation, are both hormone- and steroid-free. Organic: Turkey may be labeled "certified organic" if it includes the name of the "certifying entity," its standards and a system for ensuring that the standards are adhered to. Wild: Available by mail from specialty game bird suppliers, wild turkeys are farm raised and often free-range, cousins of domesticated breeds. The amount of breast meat is smaller than a typical over-the-counter turkey. The flavor of the meat is distinctive. Hens vs. Toms: According to the USDA, neither is more tender nor flavorful than the other if the birds have attained their proper weight. Supermarket turkeys are rarely labeled as hens or toms. Some specialty butchers will fill orders for toms or hens on request. Turkey farmer Gene Iager, of Maple Lawn Farms in Fulton, Md., says hens are at their best between 18 to 25 pounds and toms at 35 to 45 pounds.

Greg you are so right, that the market gives a statement from anyone at NTT any credibility is nuts. DoCoMo and i-mode are certainly not the path to 3G. I think NTT's failings show once again that trying to work around QCOM's intellectual property is a lost cause. As Dr. J. says QCOM has worked through all these issues. Just step up and pay boys, pure QCOM intellectual property works just fine. I think when the market wakes up they will see that it is the "tinkerer's" 3G that is problematical, not the pure QCOM stuff. On the other hand what a nice opportunity this FUD presents...NTT is clearly going to send AWE CDMA way. Why would NTT make such a large investment in AWE while AWE cannot compete for large business accounts anymore because of TDMA's inferiority in transmitting data? As said before, an NTT investment gives AWE executives the "cover" they need to switch to CDMA.
