Gercenstein was fired on the way back from a meeting with Nokia. I don't know what went on in that meeting but it apparently was enough that I guess Nokia got in touch with someone and I presume it was Harry, and got Gercenstein fired.

Now this is my opinion and not backed by facts about Nokia calling anyone. Its a fact when he got fired.

L2 - slight correction that changes your post quite a bit....the company push at that time was WTDD (not WLAN). Alain Briancon (IMO) was responsible for the tremendous patenting surge of the company that we are still reaping rewards from today. Never understood his departure

Also, JMO, MG was much more of a true CEO for the company than Howard ever was....he was one I could look in the eye and trust him - I never got that from Howard. Bill and I have bumped into each other a few times, I have a better feel for him than Howard as well....Bill's actually a bit of a character outside company business.....I like the personality

We're going in the right direction my friend....we'll know more soon
