"..I don't think the peace can be made with the operators per se. They can put enormous pressure on their vendors and their governments, but ultimately its the vendors which have to give in.." ---------- I disagree with this premise. The Operators' power has, if anything, grown. Witness the effect of the OHG (Operator's Harmonization Group) - whose efforts led to the existence of compatible imt2000 3G flavors. It was the Operators who demanded that Standards Bodies address Operators' concerns. And Operators play a direct, pivotal role in defining specifications within Standards Bodies Working Groups. ben
