French newspaper
Les Échos is reporting that the key
ETSI vote to determine whose nano-
SIM patent should become the standard has been postponed.

The participating companies have failed to reach agreement after
Nokia refused to license key patents to Apple in exchange for free use of
Apple's technology. As a consequence, the vote will be postponed for a minimum of thirty days.

Meanwhile,
RIM has followed
Émile Zola's example and screamed
J'Accuse! at Apple, claiming that
Cupertino is trying to rig ETSI's decision by registering its own personnel as representatives from
Bell Mobility, SK Telekom and KT Corp. The
BlackBerry maker has petitioned the standards agency to ensure that proxy voting is not allowed, in an effort to blunt Apple's alleged plan. You can read the full text of RIM's filing after the break.
