it was an "irrational" move. :)
it's mentioned briefly in bjarne däcker's thesis [1, chapter 7] and
joe armstrong's thesis [2, chapter 1] (both are well worth a read,
imho). the ban actually applied just to ericsson's radio group, not
all of ericsson.
it's interesting that the ban occurred (perhaps just by coincidence,
maybe it was a different group) around the same time as the first
version of the mostly erlang based AXD301 switch was delivered. the
AXD301 project is considered a major success [3].
