use of standards that are not standards[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#18)

Typical motorola 1. take an standard, incorporate into product. It good marketing. 2. come up with some reason to change standard (safety is alway a good one 'cos no-one aver disagrees with that) 3. Change the standard to prevent anyone else producing something using the standard. 4. Charge huge amounts of money for a standard that is no longer standard, but still claim you meet the standard (still good marketing) For those who shrill that Motorola is only doing it for our safety ('think of the children'), the andwer is very simple, If a standard is not good enough, DON'T USE IT.
