Gregg: Where is the reference to needing Qcom's IPR? There is not!

We all have our theories, but there was no reference that Ericsson needing Qcom IPR (unless of course they enter the IS-95 world). It is fact that Qualcomm have stated that they will not license their IPR for anything but a converged (let's say cdma2000 centric) CDMA 3G system. Ericsson have stated they do not need Qcom IPR, but the rather b(B)old statement that Qcom have issued implies "ransom". In my history of telecom's this is unprecedented...the "contentious" point you were looking for?

In reality Ericy might need it, to make things easier, but then Qcom might need Ericy IPR. So this maybe an issue of cross licensing?

Regards,
Mika
