Nokia statement eind maart:
http://www.theverge.com/2...cense-nano-sim-apple-etsiIt has become clear that ETSI's current work on the 4FF standard is in conflict with ETSI's agreed rules, risking the adoption of a proposal which does not meet ETSI's technical requirements and which would be inferior for consumers and the mobile industry, unnecessarily increasing the cost of mobile devices.
"We believe that Apple is mis-using the standardization process, seeking to impose its own proprietary solution on the industry and using ETSI merely to rubber stamp its proposal, rather than following established principles and practices," said Henry Tirri, executive vice president and chief technology officer at Nokia. "We urge ETSI members to resist this behaviour, which is not in the best interests of the industry or, more importantly, of consumers."
Nokia has actively contributed to telecommunications standardization for more than two decades. We believe that the overriding objective any standardization activity must be to collaboratively select the best technological solution, independent of individual commercial interests. It is imperative that the integrity of ETSI's standardization process should be upheld, with pre-agreed requirements and selection criteria used to ensure fair selection of the best technology. The proposal from Nokia, RIM and Motorola meets all of ETSI's pre-agreed requirements and more of its selection criteria and so should be selected on its technical merits.
Nokia's objections to Apple's proposal have never been related to intellectual property. However, as a result of the issues with the 4FF standardization work, Nokia is not willing to contribute its own IPR to the standard, if the Apple proposal is selected in violation of ETSI's rules. Nokia holds more than 50 patent families covering SIM related technologies that we believe may be essential to Apple's proposal. We have informed ETSI that, if Apple's proposal is selected, then Nokia will not license its relevant patents to that standard.
