Total crap. Europe is wireless crazy, the amount of cash when compared to income is crazy here. Europe does this all the time. I look at it as the skateboard craze. That was big there 20 years ago. On the positive side Europeans are more sociable the Americanos. Either way whether the Euros stick with wireless voice beyond the voice phase is debatable (personally I think they will), but data is a whole different kettle of fish. Without massive price cuts wireless data is dead in Europe at least. Of couurse none of this may be reflected by stock prices in the short term.

Well my dead may be a little strong, it really depends on marketing. A lot of times I've seen good marketing bury good technology. Getting to market "fast" and having the right connections in the right places can make or break a product. Contrary to the BS we were fed about this system the better mouse trap don't always win. ( it may come back after the inventor and original investors are dead and gone and the rights are bought up for a song ) Like what happened to FM radio . ( I almost jumped on DSL some time back) but if I had I'm sure I would ease out on any decent rally. Jim
