CDMQ: IS-95 is architected around a 1.25mhz channel while W-CDMA contemplates a 5mhz channel. The latter has some trade-offs with respect to mobility, but attempts to offset them by providing higher data rates. Skipping the nuances, QC (and ETSI) believe that the company's patented technology is fundamental to mobile CDMA (regardless of bandwidth). In english, ERICY must buy an IS-95 license or ERICY must buy a W-CDMA license. Either way, QC is likely to derive a royalty stream from Ericsson's move to CDMA and regions of the world that were formerly closed to QC (like Europe) are likely to become a viable market for Qualcomm products.
