Dwight, I'm not sure where you picked up that version of the statement by Decker; here's what the Reuters story reported as his statement: "''We believe litigation of this sort is yet another unfortunate consequence of the delay in the deployment and approval of a global 56K modem standard,'' Decker added." The word "delay" does appear there. Insofar as the lawsuit having to do with the ITU-T standard being delayed, it's the other way around: if there hadn't been a delay there would not have been any grounds for a lawsuit since a standard would render the 2 56K solutions moot - there'd only be the surviving one, the ITU-T standard. Hope that sheds some light on it for you. Dee Jay

Dwight, I would think the Townshend suit would be a better candidate for any delay in the standard wouldn't you? As far as ROK is concerned my mind can't distinguish the difference between ROK and FUD. At any rate, I'm wondering why a contractual dispute between ROK and one of their customers has anything to do with the ITU hammering out a standard I wouldn't think it would make much difference. I know PRB is really up on standards issues, perhaps he's got an opinion?? Derek I hate today!
