first off no no voice recognition. I assume you are implying this because of poor spelling and grammer. I am dyslexic and very poor speller. I also post stream of thought so I dont pay much attention. I will try to be more correct. My comments on your evil world was sarcasm and really just my sense of humor. I dont really think that way, I am way to pragmatic. As to your prove it point, I admit I cant with hard evidence. I however speak frequently to CEO's of major telecom companies, as well as engineers who say it is quite time consuming. As the old phrase goes time is money! If you look at the experience MOTanic had, as well as early NOKIA dificulty it is clear this is a very complex Technology. If you add to that complexity the need to circumvent 450 patents comon sense dictates that this must be time consuming for very high paid engineers. I also think that WCDMA will not be completed near the time CDMA2000( which is nearing the end of development). If Qcom rolls their system 1-2 years early it will give vendors huge lead. Again Time =money. Finally even if patents are circumvented Q will drag all to court. This is a major block for vendors who will hessitate on spending Billions to build out when there is any chance they can be draged into court. This could be costrued as blackmail, so be it the result is the same. Everyone will have to come to agreament or 3G will be Q-CDMA anyway. This because eventially Qcoms Cdma will be picked up by all those scared by Litigation. As a pragmatist I see a deal, the players are trying to vie for position. ETSI has made it clear,by assking for,that they need Q patents. Its in everyones interest to make a deal. As a pragmatist thats the way I see it. Even if it doesnt my case scenario for Q com is still pretty good. For godsakes the stock is selling at almost 1 times sales!
