Where is Dave[3] the patent attorney-in-training? Looks like a clean sweep Dave[3]. Confirming what low-life, fraudulent, unethical, deceitful, charlatans L M Ericsson bosses must be. Some would say that all's fair in love and war. Well, that's true in an amoral environment, which is presumably where the L M Ericsson bosses spend their days. Maybe in a harshly Darwinian, Nazi sense they are correct - there are no rules, just the most cunning, propagandizing, conspiracy wielding pack of crooks who can cobble together a vested interests club backed by statist bureaucrats using state power to rip off consumers and deceive GSM buyers into avoiding cdmaOne. They forget though; the good guys always win in the long run. And customers can't stand being lied to. {I don't think I'm overstating the case - to hear what I really think send email!} They are perhaps accepting the lost judicial position in Texas as part of a negotiated deal on 3G. I hope not. I hope they have simply been advised by their lawyers that their position is untenable and must be abandoned. I also hope QUALCOMM doesn't sell L M Ericsson any kind of licence. To hell with SETI. To hell with L M Ericsson. Roll on with cdma2000, let the competition start and may the best man win. Create a standard by market dominance and default. QUALCOMM has already created huge competition in an open cdmaOne environment and has even allowed some cdma2000 licences. So production and competition will be swamping the world, even without L M Ericsson. No need for Janet Reno to poke her nose in. I got the impression somewhere that Harvey White would not deal with L M Ericsson - maybe that is partly why he went to Leap. Good for Harvey. I'll trust the calm wisdom of Irwin to make a better judgement than I would. Maybe he'll consider a pact with L M Ericsson worthwhile. Good for him if he can make it so. Mqurice Re the next post - thanks Caxton, looks as though Leap and NextWave might have a few licences between them to combine forces and get things going. Leap has to be set up for more than some Australian, Mexican etc networks. The USA is the biggie. Incidentally, I was surprised how few subscribers Sprint and Primeco have. Barely into the millions. Certainly not gains of a million a month right now.
