golfinvestor: Suggest you check your assumptions. A "business friendly" [whatever that means in the real as opposed to the highly charged "political" world] FCC may emerge, but as of now, what that really means in terms of specifics is very unclear - especially since the new nominees are yet to take office. Let's see. Best. Chaz

Golf, I can just see it now. Nokia asks the head of the FCC (Secretary of State Powell's son) to postpone the deadline so that Nokia can sell more imported handsets in the U.S., and so that the companies using the QCOM chip can sell less! Do you think that outcome would really happen, especially when the fortunes of U.S. companies are at stake? What do you think the public reaction would be, especially from service providers like Sprint and Verizon, who are eager for the opportunity to introduce value added features that will allow them to take market share or obtain more revenues from subscribers?
