"manufacturers don't just suddenly start manufacturing quality cdma products"
Yeah! And that is one BIG problem if you want to sell IPR for CDMA products...
If you want to sell chips however...
Nokia could have made CDMA 2G a real success, they tried, had "help" from QCOM, but it took until now before they got a real phone on the market.
Consumers don't walk into stores saying: I want CDMA because it has more capacity per cell - they say I want a Nokia phone because my friends have 'em. And I want a neon green.
QCOM has to make up its mind. The IPO is not going to fix this.
