More questions? LOL. You're not looking for 2G CDMAOne chips from IDCC now, are you? The 1994 cross-licensing deal between QCOM and IDCC precluded IDCC from participating in the narrowband CDMAOne market.

Again, look up the Neopoint prospectus and look for that 10MHz bandwidth limitation on QCOM's use of the 5 patents that it licensed from IDCC to get an idea of how the compromise was made. This is the last time that I'm going to repeat this:

1) Schilling merged his SCS companies with IDCC in 1992 because he anticipated that broadband CDMA would eventually be overlaid over TDMA/GSM. IDCC's TDMA patent portfolio was the perfect complement to his broadband CDMA patent portfolio.

2) He also started working concurrently on PCS in North America in 1990 because that spectrum was envisioned to complement his broadband CDMA. He always comtemplated using broadband CDMA with a wider spread, as confirmed in part by that bandwidth limitation.

Now, it's my turn.

Is QCOM part of 3GPP where WCDMA specifications are being nailed down?

NO.

Is QCOM involved in any of the numerous real-world WCDMA trials going on all over the world?

NO.

Does QCOM have any TDMA/GSM patents?

NO.

Does QCOM have a 3G deal with Nokia involving the FDD and TDD versions of WCDMA?

NO.

Have you answered Jim's question that even Qualcomm has acknowledged that 27 other companies have essential 3G IPRs?

NO.

Bye now.
