There has been, I believe, a mis-perception about what this development is and has been about. This was not about Q having to make a deal with Nokia or Mot or E in order to survive or enhance product credibility. It was simply about Q wanting to sell something to somebody for several business reasons. It's being unfortunately likened to a situation in which a company HAS TO BUY some technology to advance it's technology or business plan. This was a good deal in that there was a willing seller and a willing buyer and both participants happy about it. N, M, E, et al didn't want it? Fine. Maybe they did but didn't want to pay the price? Fine. Someone else did. Dammit, this wasn't about Nokia. And, in my opinion, it wasn't about CDMA. Q starting handset business and the sale of infrastructure to E was about CDMA. The devil is always in the details but I believe the dynamics of this sale to K is about HDR.
