Tero-re your comments on "standards": I'm not sure about the definitions of "proprietary" and "open" standards. QCOM holds some Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) to CDMA ONE (and possibly WCDMA)and can expect compensation in the form of license fees and royalties. But the licenses will allow multiple vendors and free competition among licencees. In that sense, it's open. If CDMA is really superior technology, and the fees are reasonable, then QCOM's "proprietary" standard may well compete successfully. I appreciate your providing an interesting and contrary viewpoint to the thread.
