If you would like to perpetuate the myth that so far as 3GPP is concerned there is no valid reason other than a Q IP workaround for utilizing 5 MHz carrier, asynchronous as well as synchronous mode of operation, AMR, authentication with SIM, etc, etc., feel free to do so.

C'mon. I know you are a long-time observer of wireless issues, long in tooth, etc. Nevertheless, I've been around long enough to have noticed ETSI's refusal to allow CDMAOne into Europe, Nokia's stance that it's CDMAOne license was sufficient for 3G, and ERICY's fighting stance and ultimate capitulation. I remember reading all the laughable garbage about how UMTS would avoid Q's patents. Even an unbiased observer would infer that there was planning and concerted action.

An unbiased observer would be compelled to ask: Why? The only reasonable answer would be the friction over open standards on the part of those who did not have IPR and proprietary ones on the part of those who did.

If excluding QCOM was not a planned, concerted effort, then I'm the Tooth Fairy.
