Mika: Careful with your legal basis...Qualcomm has not claimed WCDMA infringement because NOBODY and I mean NOBODY has attempted to deploy WCDMA anywhere. You can test anything you want in a lab; you can print press releases about trials and tests until your heart is content. Nothing is actionable until somebody tries to SELL an infringing system...then we will see QCOM take legal action. If you want to be objective, go look at ALL the WCDMA releases and you will see that they are carefully described as trials and tests. As for QC having limited access to 3G, well I beg to differ with you. The company will have deployed a 3G version of IS-95 well before W-CDMA is out of the lab. As for the price of IPR, I have been told by several equipment suppliers (two domestic and one European) that the total royalty ticket for a start-up GSM vendor (start-up being defined as someone with no IPR to trade, that wants to be an integrated GSM manufacturer) would exceed 20% by the time all necessary parties were compensated. Kind of makes you think doesn't it? Best regards, Gregg
