(((( Message #73320 from Mucho Maas at Jun 5, 2000 2:56 PM ET Korea will never migrate to any other standard other than QCOM's. I just don't see the situation as that cut and dried. Keep in mind that Korea is also the world leader in royalty payments to QCOM--I don't think they're so proud of that statistic. I believe it is premature to write off the possibility of their going with W-CDMA. ))))

Interesting. My inference is that it is somehow bad to pay royalties to Q, as if their claim to intellectual property is illegitimate - or that somehow the is not worth payment. Perhaps the royalty concept is somehow undemocratic in a European socialist kind of way.

Remarkable, self-deluding (in a geopolitical, macro-economic sort of way) mindset.

Doomed to fail for a plethora of reasons well outlined by a variety of previous posters....
