Subject: [TN] The cost of implementing lead-free

Techies

I recall at the recent IPC meeting in Schaumberg, someone saying that  
the cost to the electronics industry so far, to implement lead-free  
was USD50billion. I would like to find out if that is, as I expect,  
true and if so, where did the calculation come from? IMHO I suspect it  
is far higher and that we could have put the money to better use....!

I hope someone out there in Techieland can help?

Regards
