*Royalties* This post needs to be hung out to dry! How about those absurd Ericsson royalties and they call Q! greedy. Q! is in the box seat and this shows just how absurd the W-CDMA gang of IPR bandits really are: < The Information and Communication Ministry said Monday that representatives from Ericsson visited Seoul last week and offered to lower royalties on core components to under 5 percent. ... The ministry is reportedly considering asking the firms to lower their royalties to below 4 percent as the suggested royalties are only marginally lower than the present 5.2 to 5.7 percent. ... > Message 13792232 Considering this with the time to market of HDR, cdma2000 and never-never land DS-CDMA, nee W-CDMA nee VW40, we can see that the world is going to go cdma2000. There is no benefit to choosing W-CDMA, notwithstanding the claim that in some undisclosed multipath circumstances W-CDMA might show a 5% or maybe 10% [they claim] spectrum efficiency over MC-CDMA[cdma2000]. BUT there is a very big disadvantage and that is the extorquerationate royalties which the DS-CDMA gang are trying to extract from customers. Ericsson is wanting to charge 5% for some piffling aspect of W-CDMA! What a joke. Apart from no advantage, high costs, lack of backward compatibility to cdmaOne, the need for all new handsets, the DS-CDMA mob thinks they can charge 5% on top of the real IPR which belongs to QUALCOMM. Oh well! Let's just roll on into the future and see who's right. Meanwhile, Unicom is suddenly on again for CDMA. Did anyone seriously think they were not? They need that to sell their stock. They need that to get customers. They need that to compete with China Telecom. They need that to provide WWeb. What a joke! Mqurice
