I don't think you've heard Gregg: In scenario one, Qualcomm sticks to its royalty fee, and W-CDMA is non-compatible; in scenario two, Qualcomm doesn't charge a royalty, or charges a negligible one, and W-CDMA is IS-95 compatible. Gregg has said that W-CDMA cannot be implemented by anyone, backwards compatible w/IS-95 or not, without obtaining licenses from Qcom. The carrot for Qcom to compromise somewhat is to get CDMA wide rolling faster, so as to start garnering royalties, and equipment sales possibilities in Europe soon. Otherwise it can fight Ericy and allies in court if they attempt to implement otherwise. And license the non-GSM world to do the new standard. Doug
