In reading today's posts re 3G, it seems to me that the current, short-term strategy is to keep things up in the air so that the auction can take place and GSM-TDMA can entrench itself, so that cdma is further disadvantaged even if later nondiscriminatory standards are adopted. I think I heard on the radio today that US carried out its threat and placed 100% tariff on a variety of EU goods due to banana discrimination. Granted that controversy has been going on for 6 years and there is a decision by an international court ordering EU to stop discriminating, but I find it curious that the tariff is being imposed just at the time the South American banana plantations have suffered from floods, which should reduce production and increase prices anyway. Could the US action be a way of telling the EU it also means business on telecommunications discrimination? I would think so.
