To Clark: As an old conference attendee where committee "resolutions" were worked [sic.] out, I suggest that there are two points here. First, look at the list of companies/organizations Heavily weighted to GSM - between 2 to 3 to 1 Second, several who are in state of flux from mergers or difficult postion if 3rd gen standards delayed. Suggest relax a bit. Not best for the Q, but not unexpected. Actually suggest much more dangerous is that Armstrong of AT&T has managed to get US Export Advisory Committee to not repeat not endorse a convered standard in ITU negotiations. Protecting AT&T's horse in US - namely TDMA. As George Gilder pointed out on this thread, AT&T is the major danger to the Q and more broadly to CDMA in the US - not Ericsson/Nokia. Here AT&T is using political clout. And from a straight competitive standpoint AT&T's one rate is by far the strongest competition to the CDMA operators in the US - such as Spring PCS and Airtouch et al. Chaz
