JG - If the "Friends of Ericy" are trying to use subterfuge, it won't work with U.S. trade officials but may be a violation of U.S. anti-trust and fair trade laws. Don't think for a minute that the U.S. government will back off on this one. I agree, especially if the letter that Perry referred to says what I suspect it does. The W-CDMA contingent is dead, they just don't know it yet - they are still twitching. (I'm a little OTT here, but the letter is very bad news for Ericsson's position - if it says what I think.) As I've said earlier, and as Perry made mention of, there is a treaty that most developed countries signed recently which says they will not restrain non-native telecommunications companies. Note that I suspect almost all companies, including Nokia, will come out of this more or less unscathed. But Ericsson, as the only major supplier not to have CDMAOne technology, is going to be hurting (as are the GSM networks which are competing directly with with CDMAOne networks in the same area).
