Seems that no matter what happens to the stock price we always manage to convince ourselves of our righteousness.Now if this were an ordinary human situation, 10 people sitting around a room, one always seeing things differently from everyone else, the group would label that person crazy, deluded, psycopathic. Of course this is different. We really are THE ONLY ONES who know what's going on because in fact we all are smarter than everyone else:-) ...........Dave

A Korean Insight? You'll have to click on the title "Spread Betting" for an article on Korea's mobile technology choice(s): totaltele.com As for the 3G debacle, would have to agree that it may be a ploy to say hey wow rather than oops (for bandwidth reasons). As for the chip rate argument, i believe you have been mislead concerning TDMA based systems. The WCDMA proposal was based on the core GSM network (which as we all know is TDMA). This provides established GSM operators an upgrade path, protecting their investment (someting I hear a lot from the IS-95 camp). One good point I did read is that by knobbling the upgrade IS-95 we now have an level playing field (as you will now need additional hardware)...I hope, for Ericsson's sake, that is not what they are implying. The symbolism or gesture can not be ignored. What goes on behind closed doors? I was shocked by Ericsson statement, I expected Qualcomm to come out with something in a couple of days after the ITU release the day before. Certainly not Ericsson within a few hours. Anyway, I digress...check out the Korean story in Communications International.
