" the Q's in Europe, like flint." Huh? Isn't it "in like Flynn"? (Errol Flynn) Or, basing the phrase on the character played by James Coburn, "...in like Flint"? Is "flint" something new?

ps- speaking of something new, any developments on Mexico? As in infrastructure plans, rumors, contracts, developments... in other words; is there confirmed flint in Mexico as of yet?

Assuming the GSM-CDMA stuff works and the CDMA air interface is as good as ERICY claims, the Q's in Europe, like flint. Could be wrong, but it is hard to see how any judge (non criminal, of course) can change that picture.

Don't forget that the European community still has to allow IS-95 as an approved standard to use. Japan and Korea both disallowed GSM so what is to say that the Europeans won't either disallow or delay IS-95 till it no longer makes sense to use it?
