Surfer Dude- A standard is a good thing, as long as it does not stymie innovation to new and better products. The proposed UTMS seems to preclude any IS-95 compatibility as I understand it. It's primary intent is lock certain competitors from the market under the guise of a world standard. A standard that all the players, including the IS-95 players would support seems the direction a world standard should move toward. What is being proposed is protectionism, not unity. The good thing is that it seems that the Qs future should begin showing itself, the hands of players are being forced. We shall soon how much the q's IPRs are worth. Caxton
