WCDMA and Q´s long IPR battle.

Limtex, my good ole friend. Why indeed do we "waste our time" in discussing the unavoidable IPR rights of Q to WCDMA standard?

Its because if there are none, as I suspect, Q is dead as a dodo in three years time.

This sort of little detail gets easily mixed up with more important news such as the projected juicy deal with a WLL operator prospect in Hydrabad (prop. Suleiman ben Swipe).

The link that Kayaker gave was the same old conference call thingie everybody is reading like a proclamation of human rights. There should be no poverty. Conveniently money is not mentioned.

What I would like to see is a link to an official list of companies that have signed irreversible and unavoidable WCDMA IPR contracts with Q.

Also I would like to see some numbers. This is like the massive influx of attractive China deals we have been celebrating during the past two years - plenty of euphoria but where is the dough? Well nowhere, that´s bloody where.

Also I would like to debate why N, S, and A, the guys who actually produced the WCDMA standard have not signed.

They should sign, shouldn´t they? As they supposedly built into their own standard several lethal poison pills for themselves.

We can´t judge by E as they bought the Q infra. Before that deal they did not think they need any Q´s IPR.
