Allow me to briefly finish this dialogue:
"To clarify things a bit, Qualcomm does not own CDMA, it owns a specific hardware based implementation of CDMA. This is the IS-95 specification."
To which I queried (in quite elementary fashion, I cannot do better with RF Speak) :
Message 15179669
I was under the impression that the critical QCOM patents for CDMA were for the air interface abilities to afford soft-handoff and power regulation. I question the claim of this being a hardware-only based patent, for it deals with the ability to do this, not necessarily with their chipset. Perhaps the hardware accomplishes this function, which would of course be another patent for the hardware design.
Could you please address this area with greater specificity?
and the instantaneous reply:

As Mr May stated in his post, they are being very cautious on commenting on details of their patent filings on advice from their patent attorneys.
The questions you ask most probably fall into that category.
We will fax your questions on to Jason May and post any reply he may have."
OK, so when DDI responds I will post it. Until then, no more of this from my station. I continue to believe it is the crucial "no license needed to *develop* " lingo which is pivotal to their claim to fame.....I have been wrong before,..... I remember the day it happened.....(:^)>
