OT: Stereo types, scandinavian being special,etc Not every stereotype is wrong nor right, but NMT was "special" in that 4 neighboring (small) countries (with a common labor market, no passports,etc) understood and negotiated a common standard, roaming,etc. But I don't understand how Norway buys arabic oil as they have a lot of it themselves, Finland, Sweden are of course totally dependent on imported energy (oil). But on the other hand I trust Norway to run a lot of computers to figure out what they might sell their oil for in the future, to figure out their investments and its influence on Norway, economical and social,etc. (on top of that they got more hydropower than most, some of the electrons losing their energy in my computer probably were charged in Norway) The swedish incentive for buying computers some years ago was much like "cutting taxes". Telia-Albania, even senator Hollming is a little worried about who owns US telecom operators-networks, although few global interests could buy all of the US ones in a week or two. Agree that Spain, Portugal and Italy are "inventive" and taking big leaps. The need for 3G is not that great for sparsely populated, highly wired regions, the other way around in densely populated, especially with less existing copper wires and maybe even earthquakes. IMO, the most important 3G thing is that it is a (the first wireless) global standard, mutually agreed to, mutual commitments to build and improve, from east to west, south to north. Ilmarinen
