I think you just made my millenium, Caxton. Ok, Tero. Now what? License CDMAOne and go home happy? Why do I have this nagging suspicion that such a plan will make more $$$$ for everyone in the long run, including Nokia, Ericy, and Qcom? Looks like the idea of any ITU standard not including Qualcomm is completely ludicrous.

Caxton, why is the GSM camp in such a hurry to slam the door shut? Is it possible that the battle is not over 3G but over GSM for the next few years, before 3G vaporware hits the market? What if some type of 3G is agreed upon that is fully compatible with CdmaOne and will be compatible with GSM via a CDMA overlay, who in their right mind would choose GSM today? Wouldn't that immediately wipe out the GSM camp TODAY vs replacing GSM with this vapor W-CDMA 3 to 5 yr from now? The plot thickens. Ramsey
