IMHO Q's biggest faux pas and this was under IJ was to cave in to WCDMA which was Nokia's ace in the hole. There would be NO 3G without CDMA and it should have, could have, would have been all Q. Instead in order to get NOKIA to sign on the dotted line in 2001, I hope they did NOT give away the sotr. Q had NO need for GSM and should NEVER have consented to including GSM in the 3G standard. We should have taken our lumps back then and this would all be OLD news. NOKIA has masterfully extended the lifeline of GSM with GPRS and EDGE for 6 years and not paying a dime of royalties on stand alone GSM with stolen CDMA IPR from Q.
