Re: WCDMA standards

If the standards are not set, they are a whisker away.

I doubt the final WCDMA standards will be completed as effortlessly as you might think.

Everyone with IPR involved will want to make sure they get their piece of the pie. I don't think everyone involved is happy with the royalty sharing plan, Qualcomm, for one, has stated they will not participate with the royalty sharing and there are probably others with similar plans.

I don't think the final approval of WCDMA can happen until everyone has submitted their IPR claims and if any of that IPR is contested, then the parties must spend time negotiating or risk having the standard dropped from consideration.

But I expect the real delays with WCDMA will be of a more practical nature. It will be fun to watch it all unfold.
