Maurice - It [building trial networks] can only make sense if they are planning on stealing the technology - using it without permission and hoping to get European court approval, or perhaps political approval and subsequent confiscatory regulation if the courts uphold Qualcomm's rights. There is another sense in which it is a good tactic for Ericsson et al - the more people (i.e. countries and companies) with which trials are run, the more pressure there is on Qualcomm to give in.

Maurice, All... Interesting acticle I had not seen before on the CDG site. Sorry if it is a repeat. Capacity of Wireless Systems: Will the Real Cost Per Minute of CDMA and GSM Systems Please Stand Up? cdg.org If their model has any validity, Maurice, it appears to argue strongly for your "the p**** is $X" scheme. The capacity advantages cited for cdma leave no doubt as to why the GSM world has opted for cdma 3G. Now, if we can just get them to pay for it... -JLF
