I don't think Uncle Sam can let Nokia just slide by into vast theft of USA intellectual property. I expect sparks to fly and sooner rather than later. Hit them Hillary! Come on Barak! Whack them Nancy! Here's one you can win King George II. Line up the Supreme Court. I didn't hire the USA to work for me to have Nokia and a swarm of Finns take over. I like Islamic Jihad getting their comeuppance, but we need to watch the cash flow too. <if you account for the balance of trade issues this last week from China, Qualcomm has done more on this front than most other countries, in that they have a net income on the balance of trade of about $5-6B a year. > Nokia raiding the coffers is not just hurting QUALCOMM, it's Motorola and a huge number of downstream people who depend on QUALCOMM's income. By saving the royalty cost, Nokia can beat Motorola and gain market share. An urgent injunction is called for. The USA lives by intellectual property and letting this slide is an invitation to anarchy and mass theft around the world of what the USA inventors have created. Yes, Brent Scowcroft and King George I opposed the Iraq invasion, but let's focus on a serious problem and let's hope King George II can let that go and face this new evil-doer. Mqurice
