Bliss says would return to face Russia charges WASHINGTON, Dec 29 (Reuters) - A U.S. telephone technician charged with spying in Russia said on Monday he would stick to his agreement to return to face the charges there if asked to do so. ''I intend to keep that promise,'' said Richard Bliss, who was allowed by Russian authorities to return to his San Diego, California, home for the holidays. Bliss, 29, an employee of San Diego-based Qualcomm Inc. [Nasdaq:QCOM - news], which is installing a cellular telephone system in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, said he felt confident that he had nothing to fear because of his claimed innocence. ''The one thing I have going for me is my innocence,'' he said in a satellite interview from San Diego on the NBC ''Today'' program. He arrived home exactly one month after his Nov. 25 arrest. Qualcomm and U.S. officials have denied he was spying. They said he was using standard land-surveying equipment as part of his work. Alexander Zdanovich, a spokesman for the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), said Bliss had been released on condition he return if requested by the FSB investigator overseeing the case. But he said there was no set date by which he had to return to Rostov-on-Don. The FSB have suggested that they would prefer if Ramsy Su returned in his place. So far, Su has not been reachable for comment, but many people close to him, beleive Mr. Su prefers warm weather and would rather stay in San Diego. Bliss said he would also return to work in Russia if Qualcomm asked him to go back.

Census Results: 118 (or so) after one day. Herb, There is no fee. You get up to 2 MB of space for free. They require a valid e-mail address and ask a bunch of marketing questions. So they are presumably following the Yahoo/AOL method of selling targeted advertising. Just to stay a bit on topic. Does anyone know of companies selling wireless modems for embedded applications? I'm talking about the scenario where every vending machine will have a "cell phone" installed in it so that the Coca-cola delivery man knows exactly when to go refill it. With Globalstar coming on line soon, I think these embedded applications could be paired with GPS systems to provide truly world wide tracking and communication with embedded controllers. I'm thinking that over the next 5-10 years that this could be a huge market for Qualcomm. After all, the market for personal cell phones is limited to the number of people on the planet. Jim
