Perhaps my memory is faulty, and I have not taken the time to look back through the five million or so posts on this board to find the specific information, but I seem to recall Qualcomm saying somewhere or another that CDMAone licensees will not incur any additional licensing or royalty fees in the move to CDMA2000 or whatever they finally decide to call the next generation. There will, of course, be costs associated with adding new infrastructure, but that will be true whatever the next generation is, even (or espcially) if it is some derivitave of GSM.

It seems reasonable to think that upgrading the new infrastructure would be less expensive for CDMAone providers if the new 3G standard is backwards compatible with existing CDMAone technology. For GSM providers, moving to CDMA of any flavor will be more expensive, especially if the3G standard is not backward compatible with their existing systems.
