Roger, The referenced article... "Qualcomm has notified ETSI of its IPR position, and is not willing to license the core technologies unless the current W-CDMA proposal is made backwards compatible with cdmaOne" Reads like ... If I can't be Quarterback, I'm going to take MY football and go home so you can't play. "When asked why one official couldn't make the trip, he replied "we're too busy defining Ericsson out of the CDMA market." What I usually see in operation with standards bodies with respect to IPR. Is to be accepted, companies will offer their IPR royalty free or with very low license fees. Object of course is to get the IPR declared a standard. QCOM seems to want to be overly greedy. Or you can look at it from a perspective QCOM and ERICY are doing whatever they can to put the other guy at a disadvantage....Normal competitive business practices.... Best Regards, Jim
