>>Does that choice matter when telecommunications industry cash cows like Nortel, Ericcson, Lucent, others and bigger (non-telco but very interested) players, patent holders and developers lay in the backround to seize the opportunity to follow leaders and stick like glue to specs as outlined by governing bodies? I don't think so. Larry, if I understand what you are saying, a draft standard has been agreed to that is neither 'Flex nor x2, so it no longer matters which protocol any given company endorses or how many endose it. The so called K56Flex consortium was nothing but marketing hype for a bunch of odd bedfellows. It has now disintegrated since there is no longer a reason for them to be in bed together, or for that matter, even seen together. I doubt you bee seeing many more joint marketing press releases, a.k.a. FUD.
