Message 4737128 Oops, here it is again. Dave writes some good posts over on Nokia thread. Bookmark him! I'm sorry I mucked up that url on the previous post - it was this one. Thanks Dave, Mqurice [Incidentally Dave, can you point out some Gregg Powers inconsistency - it escaped me. I decided to adopt the Gregg Power frustrated attitude, but with less moderate or precise language. Abuse switch turned off again, but I'm sick of years of Ericsson nonsense. See their obfuscations in the hearings the other day for more unctuous rot.]

Maurice - With a temper like that, it's a good thing y'all don't like nukes. As for IPR, it is a truism that people who don't personally have property (or aren't likely to ever be able own any in the future) are the most likely to approve of communism. Although that was said tongue-in-cheek, there is a lot of truth to it. The sad thing is that this is true even among people who should know better - lawyers and corporate exec's. I actually know an IPR lawyer who doesn't believe in Intellectual Property. And this problem is exacerbated by the fact that most good ideas are obvious in hindsight. 'How can you own something so obvious?!' The point here is that there is no point in getting upset, since it is probably true of most exec's unless they were engineers or scientists earlier in their career. Let's just hope that the judges we get, if it goes that far, aren't of that persuasion. Clark

Boy...I sure am glad that Maurice is on our side! After I read his piece, I felt like rounding up a few good ole boys from down south, taking up some ordinance, commandeering an aircraft carrier or two and kicking some Nordic butt! Way to go Maurice! Gregg

I'm saddened by your disillusionment with Nokia. But Nokia is only stating what every other source I'm familiar with concurs with: GSM is an open standard. Qualcomm's CDMA is a fueled by greed and short-sightedness. I know that there are people here claiming that GSM is as expensive for companies as CDMA and I can only say that this flies against everything I've ever learned about GSM. Complete misinformation. As far as Korea is concerned, I think you remember how I predicted Korea's rapid conversion to W-CDMA six months ago. This was widely reported in Europe back then even though no US sources carried the story. It's another example how narrowly and prejudiciously Americans are covering the W-CDMA issue. Remember how everyone referred to W-CDMA as "vaporware" when I tried to discuss the issue? And now Qualcomm seems to be clawing at straws just to get a piece of it. Now Japan, Korea and all of Europe are publicly backing W-CDMA and pissed off at Qualcomm. Is Irwin's tactical genius still undisputed? regards, Tero
