Sorry, misunderstood.

Yes, I understand that the issue of patent
protection is going to be an important one.

But, isn't it also likely that with this ease
of communication, and thus world markets instead
of "country" markets, that the issue of patent
enforcement is about to also become broader in scope?

Let's take China in this example. Seeing as this CDMA
issue is so visible and political, isn't it likely that
if China doesn't respect U.S. patents, that they're
likely to remain 3rd world? By this I mean, not many
international companies are likely to do business
with them.

I can't say that I'm a big thinker in this area. I have
no formal training in business management. However, it
just appears to me that in this particular case, QCOM's
technological lead is so great, because the desire for that
technology is probably so great, and so broad, that I can't
imagine that they aren't going to be wildly successful.
