So far all we've debated are some of the patents Ericsson has dismissed. Does anyone know the patent numbers of the patents that Ericsson is still claiming are infringed? Presumably they are stronger.(?) Clark

Okay, I'm always happy to consider a crisis. But where is it? Sure, sales dropped pretty quickly when people saw their shares turning to mush and their returns on interest on cash dropping heavily. But that is not a depression or even terribly bad. It saved Alan Green$pan having to put interest rates up, which he was all set to do before everyone got a huge fright from their own shadows [we bunnies get frightened easily - for good reason if you look at history] and looking over the fence into the Asian, Russian and Brazilian rabbit farms where the fox was gobbling lots of them. A recession isn't that great, but no big deal. They happen a dime a dozen. Even a recession won't bring QUALCOMM down much because in recessions people go right on buying the basics and cancel the luxuries. Cellphones are not [mostly] in the luxury class now. Mqurice PS: Rajala, you misquote me = there is NO cdmaOne WLL or mobile in New Zealand, other than my handset which is sending secret signals back to San Diego to get a backup invasion. My 'WLL as a carphone' comment was in reference to India I think it was. Cellsite radii are substantial and people can move quite a bit with their WLL systems. Your palindrome was good but I prefer: "A man, a plan, a canal. Panama!" It reminds me more of Irwin Jacobs and his achievements. Your comment seems more relevant to Ramqvist [previously L M Ericsson's boss who started all this muck]. "He goddam mad dog, eh!"
