Clark! "And in fact NTT has said that the Qualcomm chip rate is acceptable". Wasn't the phrase "not fatal" or something like that /R

Clark, Thanks for the intelligent and technical analysis of the so-called chip rate dispute. I must say that I suspect that Ericsson's offer to lower their chip rate was a tacit admission that -- their original "rate" was either not technically feasible, or did not really result in an appreciable improvement in their 3G system's maximum data rate. However -- I believe the designers of a "harmonized system" should be willing and ready to jointly prove the their chip rate "choice" is truly in the best interests of their potential customers. (IE, Not to just make it easier or cheaper to impliment ) This should also take into account "whether or not" any necessary active (or passive) filters would appreciably reduce standby, or talk time. (Seems to me that the designers would assure that most of the required circuitry would be in "sleep mode" when data or voice is not actually being transmitted.) While I have a high respect for the good "Q folks" who sometimes post here ( and speaking as one who is "in love" with neither company), --- I must reject the pseudo-religous assertions that Ericsson is a company of 100,000 thieves, liars, and incompetent engineers. (Just don't make no darn sense) I have read some of Q's white papers, but I do not necessarily believe that each and every one of their 3G specifications is the "only", and "absolutely best" choice for a harmonized system. ( That don't make no bloody sense either) Finally, I am disappointed that I have been unable to find similar documents on the Ericsson site. I look forward to the day that they are available to potential investors. Best, Mardy.
