"They would still get the same royalties off of W-CDMA but would likely have a lower chipset marketshare (though of a larger total market)."

slacker- Whoops. I'll go try to find our posts where we talked about this aspect....Well apparently I did not read your details carefully enough. Here is what you wrote:
Message 15493816 ...from this post I infered that Qualcomm was only going to get a "handset royalty" and not a chipset royalty from the sale of W-CDMA phones.

And here is why I thought what I did (no W-CDMA chipset royalty for Qualcomm):
Message 15498156

You say, "W-CDMA was a standard created by companies who were looking to avoid the type of lock that Qualcomm enjoys in 2G CDMA (or MSFT/INTC in computers). Nokia, Ericsson and Sony have all signed with TI for W-CDMA chipsets..."

I took it to mean that Nokia, Ericsson and Sony do not have to pay a royalty to Qualcomm for the chipset. But apparently you are saying although this group developed W-CDMA standard, it is STILL based on Qualcomm's patented CDMA technology so they still need to pay Qualcomm royalties for each chipset produced. Is this accurate? Thanks. -MikeM(From Florida)
