...these [licenses] rose by more than they paid for them," says Falk Müller-Veerse, European research manager for the investment group Durlacher. "So everyone said, 'We have to get these.'" Put another way, the stock market simply demanded that wireless operators elsewhere get on board the UMTS express. Asked why he paid so much for his UMTS license, one wireless ceo shrugs and says, "Do you know what my board would have done to me if I didn...
...ensuring peace and defending a democratic nation against a totalitarian bully, Bush should go ahead with the sale. Especially in light of this newest controversy, it appears that China’s hard-line military leaders are increasingly influential in areas of foreign policy. Selling Taiwan weapons for the express purpose of defense against Chinese aggression is an important step to ward off confrontation in the future. By agreeing to the sale, Bush will demonstrate to the leaders in Beijing that America is not a country that will be pushed around when our interests are at stake?...

...action, passengers need to be more realistic-and savvier-consumers when it comes to airline travel. Flyers should not expect premium service on a super-saver, $89 fare. What's more, travelers ought to punish poorly performing carriers by diverting their business to other airlines (such as Southwest, Midwest Express and JFK-based Jetblue), which consistently win awards for superior service. And at the most basic level, I can only say that if flying is such an awful experience, then don't fly. The U.S. has plenty of forms of alternate transportation to get you where you want...
