More Spoils of War
Congress is getting ready to mandate US-based cell phone technology in Iraq, aceing out European cell phone companies.
The idiocy of the mandate is that surrounding countries use the European-based GSM technology not the US-based CDMA standard:
If CDMA were the dominant technology in Iraq today, customers traveling to a nearby country that has only a GSM network wouldn't be able to use a CDMA phone there.More here.
Lest anyone really think this war is about anything other than liberating corporate profits.
