Tero,

a few questions. Your posts seem to imply that W-CDMA is a "QCOM not welcomed" standard, except for a few patents that QCOM holds. How dare QCOM be asking 2-5% fro their IPRs.

Is it possible that while all the debates are going on, which could last years, QCOM is developing a CDMA based solution?

qdog, is it technically possible to have a path from CDMA/GSM overlay then to W-CDMA? If yes, who would be in a better place than QCOM to come up with the solution?

Further more, by the year 2000, the US cellular market is expected to be 80 million subscribers. What is the total number of subscribers for all the European countries combined? The battle for new markets are not going to be 3G but WLL. A combination of fixed wireless and roaming wireless should attract far more subscribers than a phone that can down load a full length video.

ERICY and Nokia are good companies but ERICY's style of trying to shut out QCOM by any means possible can only work in medieval Europe and not the new world.
