Ma Banane Jaune préférée me rappelle (en plus de m’exhorter à aller faire du velo dans la bouette) que, pour les non motorisés parmis nous, les CAM seront déductibles d »impôts au provicial si vous vous en servez pour aller au travail.

CDMA to be forced on Iraq
I’m trying not to blog about the war, which makes it hard to find worthy tech stories. This bill however, that aims to force CDMA over Iraq (instead of GSM, which everybody else uses around there (and which is also prefered in the UK)) just takes the palm.
A coalition is underfoot in the U.S. Congress to replace European with American cell phone technology in Iraq as soon as the conflict is over and the country rebuilds.
In a very kind act of colonialist benevolence, the US want to better the economic situation of local companies (Qualcomm) at what is, arguably, the detriment of Iraq. Not because CDMA is technically inferior, but because the motifs are essentially economic and it is probably just a taste of things to come: Iraq as a brand new exclusive market for American companies.
