-OK, I think I understand, though you make it difficult.
Sorry, not my intention, except in the beginning :)
- If the agreement allows BCCH/CCCH sets to be sold, then
Nokia should be OK, even if it has to recall those sets
later when PBCCH/PCCCH functionality is prevalent.
Note that ITU, 3GPP, ETSI,etc are not legal, constitutional
institutions, enforced by courts, military and police, but
voluntary organisations, only power is the threat and the
action of kicking out a member.
But when joining, like Q, the applicant has to sign a paper
where it promises this and that, one basic thing is to
"support mutually agreed standards".
Everyone is, IMO, aware of some basic conflicts, like
- existing standards vs improvements and new standards
- to pick Q, "pioneering" non-standard efforts, patents
and the obvious goal of free, "fair", constructive competition. (maybe I went too far with that)
In this case, my point is that "non-standard-complient"
solutions are not uncommon, either by accident or on
purpose.
But the "rules" are hierarchical, some of lower priority
and some of higher priority. The higher priority ones,
in the mind of some, maybe more "fuzzy" (as they should
be, the more detailed come pretty low down on this priority
scale)
-What an ugly prospect.
Not really, the "constitution" w@nkers used the regular
weapons, but ,funny, funny, recognized the now and then
need to make special arrangements for special handsets..
-I suppose it could be spun via marketing if it adding
PBCCH/PCCCH functionality is reasonably simple to perform:
Spun by the market, analysts, obviously yes, if they think
they have understand, have a grip on "it".
Operaters probably can do the job of making the analysts
see their internal limitations.
- "Come in--we'll make your phone better, and you'll get a
free dandy faceplate as a reward!"
One possible operator strategy, most important,IMO, for the
operator to not be forced to do that mandatory recall,
during those critical weeks they plan to try to turn on
the PBCCH/PCCCH switch, running the risk of having to
reboot the whole network.
(Long time ago, I witnessed the one with the right to
do so pulling the power plug on a long distance switch)
That is, a handset only working on the tested and verified
control channel should be seen as a gift from heaven,
although DCCM would have been better.
- Lot of Nokians in Finland and elsewhere must be chewing
their nails to the quick.
Well, I guess the Nokia employee are working on their
present and next goal, most shareholders have got the
message to wait, some daytraders try their best playing
the lottery.
Somewhere I found something about another Nokia-Ollila
road show this next week, Morgan STanley seem to have
understood some issues already, the rumour mill is
surely going at max.
