>How about this: Europe wants to go W-CDMA. Q has the patents. Why? Q INVENTED the technology for using CDMA for wireless communications. > >If it wasn't for Q there'd BE NO W-CDMA for Europe to move to. Or attempt to STEAL. > >But that's Europe for you: a bunch of pinko sissies who attempt to steal the ideas of others and rename them for use behind the high and forbidding tariff-strewn walls of FESTUNG EUROPA; puh- leeze GIVE me a break! Taichi, you did not understand my posting. I'll type it slowly: Business Week had an article. Article said all the key QCOM patents had been left out from the current W-CDMA proposal. QCOM's other position on the ETSI standard is also somewhat weak: Europe should not be allowed to accept a standard that QCOM does not do since it would constitute a trade barrier. Some royalties can be expected but only AFTER some QCOM stuff has been weaved into the standard. So there's no stealing by devious European pinko sissies, - rajala
