This is getting seriously surreal. I'll say this once more, but this is the last time. Nokia and Ericsson have been working on CDMA for 7-9 years. How can somebody not involved with these companies say they haven't been? What does Ericsson's attacks against second generation standard, IS-95, have to do with the fact that Ericsson is becoming world's leading third generation CDMA company? I have personally discussed with an Oulu university scientist working on CDMA in collaboration with Nokia back in 1994. "Helsingin Sanomat" has been writing about Nokia's CDMA research for several years. I noted that Japan was going to endorse Nokia's W-CDMA proposal in the summer of 1997 in Silicon Investor. Look it up! Back then no Qualcomm backer at SI even knew what W-CDMA meant. As I recall you referred to W-CDMA as "vaporware" because you thought it didn't exist. And know you seem to know all about this standard. How did this happen? Tero
