Armstrong was CEO at Hughes, a CDMA equip manufacturer as well as SAT provider before ATT.Maybe, as you suggest we're looking at our first overlay a la Vodafone trial. Wonder how Sprint would feel about this, let alone ETSI... Excellent... a lot to think about.

To DaveMG: You and I seem to be trying out ideas as to the scope and implications of the joint venture. Of course, we will know much more on Tues and thereafter. Your description of possibilities is thought provoking. Multiple possibilities - most very very positive IMO. Yes, and agree that this arrangement is very different that that of Citrix where after just about wiping out Citrix, Microsoft opted to give them mucho bucks and tie them in. But Citirix has kept a remarkable degree of independence and flexibility to work with diverse technologies and many companies other than Microsoft - up to now at least - but rpt but when (if ever) Windows 2000 gets off the drawing board - that may be a danger point for Citrix. All MSFT's choice. The joint venture structure offers major protection for the Q IMO. Very pleased that is the approach. And a sign of the Q's management's skill in maneuver - hope those skills continue. :-) Chaz

Thursday November 5, 8:32 pm Eastern Time Ericsson unconcerned by Microsoft mobile move STOCKHOLM, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Swedish telecoms equipment maker Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson is not concerned by a move by Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) and Qualcomm (Nasdaq:QCOM - news) into mobile telephones, a senior company official said on Thursday. ''We don't see anything new or exceptional in this development,'' Jan Ahrenbring, marketing director of Ericsson Mobile Telephones, told Reuters. ''We are not surprised, there has long been a trend towards developing wireless data communication,'' he said. ''For this to work it needs suitable software with good applications.'' Ericsson is prepared for hard competition in this area, Ahrenbring said. Microsoft and Qualcomm will unveil wireless communications a joint venture next Tuesday. Ericsson, its U.S and Finnish rivals Motorola Inc. (NYSE:MOT - news) and Nokia and Britain's Psion (quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: PON.L) have already formed a called Symbian to develop Psion's Epoc operating system as an open standard for wireless data communication terminals. Analysts expect the Microsoft-Qualcomm venture to develop advanced mobile telephones using Microsoft's Windows CE operating system
