<Siemens,Nokia and Ericsson have a lot of more IPRs in the area but as always they keep a lower profile.>

That'll be because they don't want anyone to notice their extorquerationate GSM Guild slimeballing of non-guild members, charging them 16% [or is it 30%] royalties for an obsolete technology which is hanging on only because 3G service providers are stupidly greedy.

The current attempt to get QUALCOMM to lower the derisory 5% royalty for the amazing "this cannot work" CDMA technology which enables vast amounts of data in short times and low costs for long distances while the same people charge a fortune for GSM is doomed to failure. Especially if people get wind of the high GSM royalties.
