This leads me to another point about something Motorola direction could lead. What if I build a DSP that can be reprogrammed or with a smart card, change from CDMA 2000 to W-CDMA? How do you charge an IPR for that? Do you charge a rental fee directly to Ericsson or Qualcomm?

Qdog, that's easy. If the device needs to use Q IPR then Q has the right to charge a royalty on the price of the device. If the device uses Ericy IPR that is not incorporated into one of the CDMA modes of the device than Ericy has the right to charge a royalty since presumably, the pass through royalty that Ericy has granted Q would not apply.

Qdog, just today I was thinking about my early investment in QCOM and how I came to invest. I thought back to my early days on the "Coming into buy range" Q thread and realized that you were one of the early people that provided information and helped me form a positive opinion of QCOM. Now, you sound so bitter, so negative and even to the point of sounding less than sane (sometimes), I have to wonder if you sold your early investment in Q and this has caused your bitterness. I know it's none of my business and I am not even asking you if this is so. I am just amazed at what a different person you have become over two short years.
