Chaz, in fairness to L M Ericsson [a strange compulsion to be fair to a pack of bandits = bad upbringing], the decision to participate in cdmaOne and cdma2000 by L M Ericsson is a two way street. For all we know, QUALCOMM put such onerous demands in terms of royalties and other limitations that L M Ericsson negotiators simply couldn't accept them. cdmaOne does have a maximum value to L M Ericsson and perhaps QUALCOMM exceeded that value. Perhaps it was because they dislike the L M Ericsson people they were dealing with, being accused of fraud, having their technology dishonestly disparaged, having dishonest and unethical behaviour by L M Ericsson, which is still going on. The American people seem to not like being lied to, but they are happy to accept L M Ericsson's lies.

L M Ericsson says they have examined all the IP and there is no position that QUALCOMM has to limit L M Ericsson on use of CDMA cellular. Yet they have been and still are [I think] pretending to negotiate a licensing agreement with QUALCOMM. Which is true? For years they and their agents said that cdma by QUALCOMM was a crock of scam which could not work yet they now say they invented it circa 1989. Etc etc. etc.

Anyway, my point is maybe QUALCOMM was so annoyed with them that they didn't really want them in the cdmaOne world. Rightly so! Why form agreements with scum? Just point guns at them like the USA does with Saddam and Milosevic.
