There was a post on this board or the coming to age, by kayaker if memory serves me right, which tabulated Q's royalty stream from each and every license they sell. I had saved the post in a file in my computer. Unfortunately I am not at my own computer right now, but will be able repost it either today or late tonight. In short, the table showed that it just did not matter which 'flavor'; WCDMA or CDMA2000, Q makes the same royalties from the essential IPRs that it owns on Code Division Multiple Access air interface protocol. Additionally, in the case of CDMA2000, they would of course make money on the ASIC that they would sell. No one has WCDMA ASICs yet. The standards are in a state of flux at the moment. Q is working on it as well as everyone else. We'll see who gets there first. Let the best product development team win.
