Chaz, NOK's "licensing problem" - as Ramsey noted - is with China MII. An additional requirement - provided NOK reached an accord with MII - would be using Q ASICs, which was part of China's overall IP royalty agreement. If I were NOK, I'm not sure I'd hold my corporate breath. MII's actions are all about diminishing foreign presence in domestic telecom. It MII was receptive to opening cdma up further to foreign interests, LG and Samsung would have resolved the handset shortage long ago. Perhaps more of interest this morning, in light of Unicom's light numbers is: What is NOK admitting as regards the future of 1x in China? Why would NOK be interested in a 70K handset per month proposition? What's happening with GSM1x in Asia? Samsung seems upbeat: Message 17627517 Also interesting is the new radiation fears in Europe. How will this influence adoption of China's proposed stiff SAR regulations, which has been suggested a possible lever to regain control of its domestic market? Message 17616451
