Can you answer any of those questions? If so, by all means, post the answers. I don't know them off the top of my head, but I know what you are getting at. The bottom line is that this is a capital intensive industry with extremely high barriers to entry. What that means is that only large companies that can put together huge packages of globally syndicated loans are going to be able to participate. The costs are astronomical. The risks are sky high. The flip side is the potential rewards are extremely high as well. Here's the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow: umts-forum.org Also, here is a report on 3G licensing progress: umts-forum.org You don't have to believe it will happen and I don't dispute that there are some serious challenges that will have to be overcome over the next decade. But as always, technology barriers and economic challenges are eventually overcome. It will happen in the 3G world too. It's just a matter of time. You may think it will never happen, but I think not only is it inevitable, but it will happen in a big way within the next 10 years. Once again, you guys keep spouting blabber. Give me reports, facts, research or anything that backs up your disbelief. Doubting is one thing, but give me cold hard facts, not idle, pessimistic speculation. I'm giving you all the facts to support my conclusion that the Internet is not dead and growth will come from multiple sources, which will ultimately benefit the largest infrastructure vendors like Cisco, Nortel, Alcatel, and Ericsson. Yet you guys give me nothing, but blather.
