It hasn't earned them access to other Q patents which could make BCDMA more appealing to providers
IDC doesn't need QCOM's narrowband patents to make BCDMA work for fixed wireless apps.
-- InterDigital and its partners successfully demonstrated wideband CDMA technology in fixed wireless products in field trials in five countries.
Message 12848599
Elements of BCDMA technology are being incorporated into 3g WCDMA, the de facto upgrade path.
-- System-on-a-Chip ASIC for fixed wireless applications, employing wideband CDMA air interface technology, produced with Texas Instruments. Successful tests validated high performance of InterDigital's proprietary wideband CDMA air interface and systems designs - many portions of which are reusable in developing new 3G technologies.
Will providers ever use channels wider than 10Mhz?
The Mobile Communications handbook, Second Edition, 1999, IEEE Press
Channel bandwidth
WCDMA: 5,10,20 MHz
cdma2000: 1.2.5,5,10,15,20 MHz

Is that simple enough for you? That's the state of CDMA2000 and WCDMA as of 1999. What has changed since then, Quincy? It might help if you pay more attention to the ITU and see how global frequencies are being aligned or how specifications are being formulated. Next ITU meeting will be held from 3/7 to 3/10/2000.
The point is simple: IDC's CDMA patents represent a clear alternative to QCOM's CDMA patents as REAL WORLD events are starting to reveal. One can buy early or one can buy later.
By the way, I find interesting the way you focus on my "insults" and totally ignore the cavalier attacks on people's character and intelligence from your fellow QCOM fanatics.
It amuses me no end to see how you narrowminded narrowband CDMA zealots are now trying to characterize a cross-licensing agreement as a sale in order to preserve your fantasies that only QCOM has the patents to make 3g work. Get real.
