The history of standards and operators living with these standards is littered with companies trying to cash on equipment which isn't compatible. The QCOM trick of SpinCO is exactly what the operators are most pixxed about, the global, fat cat, tax collector and the independent no-nothing village idiot. Are you saying that the GSM Cabalistas don't collect royalties which exceed those which Q charges for CDMAOne and plans to charge for 3G AF-CDMA? [AF=AnyFlavor]. All of your complaints about Q seem to me to be equally applicable to the Cabalistas, and then some. I wouldn't call the only company which has announced inter-operable chestnut-from-the-fire-pulling GSM/WCDMA/CDMA2000 ASICs a village idiot. We'll see in time who delivers. I put my money on Q. As far as attempts at cashing in on equipment which is not standards-compatible, seems that the only company that has done that recently is Nokia. Ask Verizon, they'll tell you.
