<<I can understand the need for carriers to minimize costs and redundancies for deployment to the 3G upgrade path, but is 3G as such inherently more expensive than operating today's 2G or analog systems? Does any of this compute? Is this the crow ETSI will force Q! to eat to eat GSM toast in Europe?>> spoke to a 3G committeeman today. He stated they'll cave to Q's desire to increase total handset royalties from 5% to about 10% (shared among all players relative to importance). Q is participating by protesting. ERICY and other ETSI members, he says, doesn't want another dog fight on their hands and will cave to Q - already in the works according to him. He doesn't work for Q, so he's not biased in this regard
