I did a quick search of press releases on the Ericsson Web site to find a negative reference to CDMA or QCOM. Unfortunately all I came up with was this 1992 release that indicates that Ericsson has been working with CDMA for a while. This is not presented in defense of the "slimey hagfish" just in the interest of full disclosure. 18 June, 1992 ERICSSON BACKS STANDARDIZATION PROCESS FOR FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES Ericsson today voiced its support of the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association's (CTIA) decision to continue its policy of fostering new technologies through a defined standardization process. Ericsson recently presented its CDMA wideband technologies for future use to the CTIA sponsored open forums and said that it is prepared to work with the industry in establishing a standard for CDMA, just as it did for Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technology. TDMA is now the industry accepted standard and will be in commercial service later this summer.

In response to your post of March 5. It would be easy to make a crack about how your thinking is influenced by your geographic location, but I have no quarrel with the rest of the good people of New Zealand (or Australia). As usual, you make one outrageous statement after the other and when asked for proof, you don't have the time. Interesting that you should bring religion into this. On our first encounter on this thread, your post can be best described as a sermon on not only how Ericsson had broken most of the ten commandments but that Ericsson stockholders were equally guilty for backing such an immoral and unethical company. All without the slightest semblance of proof. But then Qualcomms quest for marketshare via political muscle has also been described as a "jehad", a holy war. To address one of your points, Bill Frezza, I have been told, was at one time a consultant for Ericsson. How this makes him a spokesman for Ericsson is a giant leap in logic.
