Consensus systems are supposed to ween out conspiracy theories as well as incompetency. (ween,wheen?? slowly starve, minimize, teach??) I would not think operators would like non-two-IoT tested GPRS phones in too large numbers in their markets. On the other hand upgrading handset firmware is not what it once was, invention of flash memeories, and basestations can be updated even once every night, download new firm- and software. That is why I think this is not a question of following outdated standard text, but solving possible present and future problems. That is, consensus, the consent of the ruled, tend to ween out the worst, cannot hide behind holy wars and propaganda-quacks. Ilmarinen Common sense should tell everyone, as a first approximization, that the one who noted the problem and flagged it, got support for it, knows more than those who did neither. Long time ago the operators could be in full control of their own private vendor-turf, but as Hellstroem put, if one does better, the others must follow. Btw, what is the english expression for someone who sees following the rules as more important than solving problems, paragraph-w@nker, frustrated nihilist, regular idiote?? Or just inspired TIM, in this case??
