Jim - You might be right but my question is then why have all the Japanese licensed with IDC for GSM ?

I don't know. How much are they paying? Darrell made a reference to the fact that there is another set of IDC patents for GSM. Those I haven't seen. Maybe those were the ones licensed? If they are of the same calliber(sp) as the 089 patent and I were the Japanese, I might pay just because it has some merit (unlike the GTE patent that is being used against the Q), and it would almost certainly be cheaper than fighting it (assuming, as appears to be the case based on the NOK settlement, the royalty amount is pretty low on a percentage basis?). ???
