Keith: Can you point me somewhere that mentions the Korean companies have selected WCDMA that is backward compatible to their cdma networks? Most of the ballyhoo is about the air interface and i seem to recollect that they went with the Euro-Japanese standard.

I know things take time, I saw the first analog and digital networks roll-out and the same guff I am hearing now happened then - aint nothing new about "delays".

As for Qcom getting royalties, it certainly wasn't my first direct admission. Once things got "sorted out" a couple of years ago I had mentioned it several times.

As for Qcom assuming a full role as a WCDMA standard developer, that again is complete fabrication - they were invited, several times, to join into the standardisation of WCDMA and refused. No discussions as it was either "their way or no way" - I was heavily involved in the ETSI adoption of WCDMA, although the first battle was against the Alcatel/Siemens alliance (but I bet you didn't know there was a inter-European battle that proceeded any trans-Atlantic one?).
