mightylakers,

Thanks for your comments.

Yes, there was once was a time when I believed the rest of the world was aiming to circumvent QCOM IPR. I thought IDCC might have some of the core patents to aid NOK and the others around paying QCOM full price for their CDMA intellectual property.

I came to realize over time that the notion was indeed silly. As I became more versed in the technology, and started to seriously comprehend what was going on in the industry, it became quite clear to me:

QCOM has foundational CDMA property rights which can not be circumvented.

When QCOM posted on their website a few presentations that claimed their patents were A) not bandwidth specific and B) licensed for 3G use by over 50 manufacturers, I knew my capitulation was the right choice from an investment point of view.

I could go through the numerous posts of mine (mainly on Raging Bull) where I asserted this, but it's really just a waste of time.

But thanks, Bux, for bringing up that previous message of mine. {ggg}

p.s. You may have noticed how many others have changed their tune (re: QCOM's IPR position) as the information has been easier to access over the last year or two.
