[comp.dcom.telecom] Nokia Mobira vs. Motorola

otto@uunet.uu.net (Otto J. Makela) (08/31/89)

Item heard on the evening news: Nokia Mobira cellular phones (some models ?)
have been blocked from import by the US Customs Office into the US, because
Motorola has claimed that Nokia has copied proprietary/patented chips used on
the phones.

Can anyone at Nokia Mobira/US, Motorola, US Customs, or anywhere else give
more information on this, since this was all got from a two-minute spot on
the news ?
