Cha2,

<< DoCoMo is a "manufacturer"? >>

No. They are a carrier.

<< If so, then DoCoMo needs a Q license, no? >>

No. Their vendors do.

They along with Ericcson brought WCDMA to the ETSI 3GIG table. They are claiming IP. I am willing to bet they will be paid.

Qualcomm may have to cross license from DoCoMo for WCDMA. Qualcomm was not even doing data when Ericcson and DoCoMO started collaboration on WCDMA.

<< PS Where have the WCDMA trials been conducted without wheels on the "terminals"? >>

In a dozen labs around the world. In Canada (the FIRST 3G call in the Americas courtesy of Microcell FIDO and Nortel 6 months before cdma2000 first 3g call). Fixed environment.

At SK Telecom. Fixed (without wheels) as well as mobile (with wheels). I gave you the CDG website reference to SK Telecoms mobile test and Van equipment for WCDMA mobile testing in February, if you recall.

ALL CDMA TRIALS (any flavor or mode) for mobile communications, are conducted "on wheels". I am extremely hopeful that cdma2000 is tested "on wheels" before release and as a matter of fact it has been. Would you please advise how you test 384kbps data (or any portion thereof) mobile 3G requirement without wheels?
