Edit... ooops, I see you stood corrected. Oh well, a shame to waste a perfectly good rant. Please accept that I stand corrected, though not in the sense that Bush's crowd has adopted anti-American policy with their GSM network instead of CDMA2000 and denial of UN importance.

Mq, there was such a hew and cry about 'mericun CDMA in Iraq that W had to allow GSM which is, after all, the prevalent standard in that part of the region. I suppose no one told him about Q's superb GSM1x wizardry or the upcoming multi-mode chips. As you sagely noted, however, it's about oil, and there's no way in hell that Totalelf or anyone else, including the back-stabbing Russkies, are
going to get close to those goodies. That'll be Halliburton's and ExxonMobil's job. Certainly none of the fabricating Nords will get a pass.

The telecom stuff was a sop.
