Articles like this always make me feel so much better about my Q investment:

<<<<<<``This is a declaration of war against Qualcomm,'' said Marko Maunula, an analyst at Conventum Securities.>>>>

so dropping their royalty rate still leaves QCOM's royalty... which means that a WCDMA royalty is only 60% more than a cdma2000 royalty?

<<<<<<<<<``own such a vast set of patents that they may be able to operate without using Qualcomm's patents at all,'' Maunula said.>>>>>>>>>>

smart thinking. I assume the standard - Toys 'r' Us - law degree applies to this comment. Good thing this guy knows more about the patents then NOK, Siemens and ERICY. Didn't they already agree to pay QCOM 'THE' royalty?

<<<<``High royalty payments have been seen as a factor slowing down industry development,'' said Petri Arjama, an analyst at Handelsbanken. ``This is positive for WCDMA technology>>>>>>>>>>>

I knew it!!! Those darn royalty payments are responsible for WCDMA's 3 year delay. Someone please call TXN and tell them they can resume development now.
