carranza2: I think I will call you "El Cabango" instead. An admission is a simple word but perhaps you don't understand its meaning. To admit, is to acknowledge as in "admit the truth". Usually, it is also *against* ones interest to admit something. Such as admit that one infringes a patent; admit one is caught with hand in cookie jar.

On the other hand, the word assert or allege is what the accused (ie Nokia) does when they are trying to avoid taking a license or being sued, such as assert or alleging one's innocence. Nokia can *only* assert or allege that the current license cover's technology they wish to practice. It is well known that they have failed to produce quality CDMA chips and keep up with other vendor's in CDMA. Clearly, they are going to have to take a more expensive and higher end licensing arrangement from Q to keep up with the technology. This additional and more expensive license could be to the software and hardware that Q produces and *licenses* to their best (read highest licensing fee) customers. From all the press releases and other information, Nokia is not one of Qs "best" customer's since they are still trying to go it alone. It will not be long before Nokia starts using Qs chips and software design tools at the higher licensing fee.

Nokia will take this license and then "admit" they needed it to do CDMA in the competitive market place. Meanwhile, Nokia has not made any admissions.

Of course, if you want to continue to believe everything you read, I have some swampland in Florida....
