On topic rambling: I just thought of something and I was wondering if this has been talked about. As you all know, the ETSI asked QCOM to license (or was it give) their 10, or so, patents covering the new WCDMA standard. As we know, QCOM is refusing since WCDMA does not give their customers a clear upgrade path. There has been talk about why ERICY hasn't license out the Q's CDMA portfolio. Now, my question which I just thought of and posed to marginmike (who we are having a nice little debate about patents and stuff) is: Maybe Q wants more than money from ERICY, maybe as part of the contract Q wants a guarantee that ERICY will provide a clear upgrade path for the Q's customers.... What do you think of that? dave
