Bill- This sounds a lot like the usual disinformation provided by IDC and others. Q has made several on the record statements that there is no difference in the applicability of Q's patent rights over narrow or wideband cdma. I thought this BS had ended with the ericy capitulation, but evidently not. <<But Qualcomm's technology is narrowband CDMA while most of the world will adapt third and fourth generation technology which is wideband CDMA, a much different animal.>> GEE, FORGOT TO MENTION THAT IT STILL REQUIRES Q'S IPR. WHOOPS! BY THE WAY, WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL IS IT? <<UTRA Wideband CDMA with TDD The most promising approach to the new, third and fourth generation wireless is a combination of wideband CDMA air interface, time division duplexing (TDD) and GSM. >> GEE FORGOT TO MENTION THAT IT STILL REQUIRES Q'S IPR. WHOOPS! <<It is generally acknowledged that InterDigital intellectual property rights also will be prominently included in the W-CDMA standard. InterDigital has been drawing on its extensive experience in designing TDMA/GSM and its state-of-the-art broadband CDMA (B-CDMA(tm)) technology to address a previously unsolved problem. That is how to deal with the incompatibility between second generation TDMA and GSM and third generation wideband CDMA in the design of a relatively simple and inexpensive wireless device. Knowledgeable sources say that InterDigital either has already completed -- or is very close to completing -- work on a TDD (Time Division Duplex channel access) protocol. This "building block" is a highly significant breakthrough in telecom technology, and could become the "crown jewel" among InterDigital's 800 worldwide patents. >> WHOOPS! NOBODY KNOWS WHAT "GENERALLY ACKNOWLEDGED" MEANS! WHO GENERALLY ACKNOWLEDGES IT? SOURCES PLEASE!!! SAME PARAGRAPGH, WHO THE HELL ARE "KNOWLEDGALBE SOURCES"? SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER IDC HYPE PIECE TO ME. Sorry, three WHOOPS and you're out. Caxton
