Why spend if it they don't care what flavor of CDMA is going to be installed?

I am also sceptical of this....however the one scenario in which it makes sense, is if W-CDMA is delayed for at least two years. In this case, Qualcomm may be hoping to force NTT to switch to CDMA2000...

Qualcomm has always preferred CDMA2000....this is just the first time they are admitting it. They have a huge chipset lead, which they dont have in W-CDMA.

On another topic....why did Qualcomm pay 50% above NTZO's closing price on Friday for a 10% stake? This seems to be a ridiculous premium....I thought companies like MSFT usually got discounts when purchasing shares.
