<Hmm! It is (both are) still accessible to me. > Thanks, just solved the problem. Seems to be a java problem, will not run on Win2000 computer but works fine on my WinME machine. Just to make this OT, have you seen this article? --- Nokia, the next Microsoft? Finns seek to be Microsoft of the mobile phone world By Gareth Vaughan, FTMarketWatch 3:51:00 PM BST Mar 16, 2001 LONDON (FTMW) - Could it be that a former toilet paper maker from Finland will be the next to achieve Microsoft-style dominance of its chosen market? Shades of Microsoft's [US:MSFT] obsession with dominating the global software market can certainly be seen in Nokia's [US:NOK] drive for domination of the global mobile phone market. While Microsoft controls 90 percent of the global market for operating software used in Intel-compatible personal computers, Nokia [SE:000053994], overtook Motorola in 1998 to become the world's number one seller of cellphones and now sells roughly a third of all the mobile phones sold worldwide. The Finnish company has more than double the market share of the number two, Motorola [US:MOT]. Nokia already leads Microsoft in at least one area. Last calendar year Nokia had sales of €30.4 billion ($27.31 billion) versus the 25-year-old Microsoft's sales of $23 billion (€27.2 billion) for the year to June 30, 2000. snip ftmarketwatch.com{CB05D838-0FE3-4541-AF71-FD4F0E5D49DA}

<Rich opened with that ... it was sort of comical. Not sure how it will go over with VOD when fed back. Maybe Chris will be in a good mood.> Does seem somewhat disorganized, as best I can transcribe it, "It was disheartening this morning to pick up the Financial Times, you may have seen it, where someone at VOD is upset about VZ 3G plans because VZ, which is a partner in NA, has chosen to go CDMA2000 and somebody at VOD, does not name a person, says that is a bad idea since now they cannot roam on the VOD system here in Europe when they go WCDMA. That is absolutely a false statement. A multi-mode multi-band chip will allow that to happen and people in the industry understand that so that article, we will have to deal with the guy that wrote it. I will show our some of our schedule for multi-mode chips going forward." Why pick at the guy who wrote it, if it was an accurate quote of the VOD statement? Chip available in two years? Good idea to hack off the press? Wasn't there a little QCOM "dust up" in the FT last month? Back for more?
