OTOTOTOTOT I respect your knowledge about about Nokia and developments in the world cellular market and enjoy reading your posts on these matters. About the US political situation, however, I'm afraid that you don't have a clue, and would respectfully suggest that you refrain from damaging your credibility further by posting uninformed pronouncements and speculation. There is a big difference between people who answer poll questions and voters. In the 3 polls that really have mattered for Clinton, he got 43% approval in '92, disapproval of historic proportions in '94, and 49% approval in '96. Democrats know this and they will suffer handily at the polls in November if they continue to defend Clinton's perjury before a federal criminal grand jury in August and his continued dissembling to the public. That is why Democrats (Moynihan, Lieberman, B. Kerry, J. Kerry, Byrd, Hollings, Nunn, McHale, Kaptur, Glendenning, soon to be others IMO) are starting to avoid him like Typhoid Mary. Wall Street's reaction, as usual, is impossible to predict. I personally don't believe Wall St. credits Clinton for market/economic performance.

Hi Tero. "Could Nokia and Ericsson undermine the hapless satellite projects with cheap, light world phones? Bosch is having some early success with its own USA/Asia/Europe/Australia GSM" Running low on ideas for discussion? My experience in analog roaming (different companies) across the US has proven G's price will be cheaper in virtually all circumstances. Imagine, no longer having to do the "32" thing every day to keep your location known with the network. (Otherwise, your calls won't be forwarded from your home system.) G* offers me the feature of dealing with only one network provider. In many areas that have no digital service at all, it can be the only secure way to make a call. But, realize I am not against "world phones". The one thing leaving GSM phones gathering dust in the US (besides more expensive calling plans) is the lack of analog roaming. Nonetheless, I don't think "world phones" have a chance in hell in areas like central Austrailia where there is ZERO coverage for hundreds of miles. A significant part of the world does not have wireless service. Nice rise in Nok.a stocks today...
