Lars, long, long ago, the use of CDMA patents ceased to be a matter of 'friends'. <You don't get many friends playing like that.> It's a bit like Islamic Jihad. There's no point in worrying about upsetting them. Their anger is already off the scale. Being "friendly" or agreeing to lie down with your throat exposed won't get them to play nicely and be the best of friends. They will just consider that a convenient opportunity to do what they want to do. Appeasing Adolf didn't stop him and Germany stomping off around Europe, murdering and stealing. The "Sword of Damocles" [I don't know the literary allusion, but think I understand the idea] was "installed" when QCOM was issued the patents. The sword includes cruise missiles, Predator drones and other military equipment if things turn really ugly. The GSM Guild was in trouble from the time QCOM came up with a better mousetrap and the GSM Guild didn't, until they stole QCOM technology in a $500 bn rip-off to keep their obsolete GSM/GPRS/EDGE ideas alive when the GSM mousetrap held off the far more sensible CDMA methods. I'm always happy to help with answers to your questions. Mqurice
