              "Here's what's going on. For its own capitalistic
              reasons, Microsoft wants universal broadband access
              at $40 or less per month. It also wants to sell Windows
              NT and BackOffice to network operators. So it came up
              with a way to create a wireless "service bureau." Called
              WirelessKnowledge, this partnership with Qualcomm
              will let other carriers buy wholesale access and put
              their own brand on it. Click for more.

              The partnership is producing:

              -    An infrastructure (for billing, security,
                   management, etc.) so it doesn't have to be
                   reinvented each time.

              -    A technology agnostic platform, to end the
                   alphabet soup of competing, incompatible
                   wireless standards

               -   A broad base of tools and developers

               -   A viable business model

              The last point is the key."
