You're repetitive and tiresome, Valueman. And Qualcomm itself is contradicting you on that score. The important distinctions that seem to escape you are that

a) QCOM's IPR position in CDMA2000 is not the same as its IPR position in WCDMA (ask them point-blank);

b) QCOM wants to charge the same flat patent-one, patent-all royalty rate regardless of (a).

Wanting hard and saying so are not going to make it so. Simple enough for you? If not, go read the Neopoint prospectus to get a better understanding of Philips "essential CDMA patents," the 5 CDMA patents cross-licensed by IDC and QCOM, and the CDMA patents cross-licensed by ERICY and QCOM.

Again, the best thing for you to do since you're heavily invested in QCOM is to call QCOM IR and try hard NOT to pick out only what you want to hear. Is that so hard to do?
