To limtex: Think you have hit the nail on the head regarding the importance of Ericy and Nokia to Sweden and Finland and therefore the willingness of both countries (and their European allies who have a long history of cartels and closed markets) to protect their turf with everything available to them. But, the time may come when Ericy has more to gain by joining Nokia in licensing the Q's technology. Then what? Still seems to be logical that Nokia leads the way in being able to churn out equipment in all rpt all technologies, analog, GSM, TDMA and CDMA. Can sell to everyone, everywhere. Do you think Ericy wants to have one hand tied behind its back forever? Chaz

It is unlikely to be long. I think so, principally because the WCDMA group is going to lose its cohesion if this fight is going to be a long drawn out affair. As we saw in the NTT press release the group is getting impatient and will not delay 3G deployment to protect Ericsson which is the principal loser if CDMA2000 gets adopted as a universal standard. Ericsson already under pressure, will understand this dynamic and settle for far less than they were hoping for.
