Lorenzo, you have so much to learn. LG didn't puyt speech into a few of
their phones because they wanted to. It had everything to do with a
formal complaint at the FCC over accessibility. It was nothing but good

old fashioned arm twisting. It was certainly not market economics as you
suggest.

PS: I know. I was there in the middle of it.

old fashioned arm twisting, and most certainly not market economics.
