Sag, You may be on to something here. Remember, some 60 companies pay some amount to QCOM now for their IPR. To be sure that they are not paying for nothing, these companies have their patent attorneys check out the claims. Their conclusion: to use any form of CDMA and it's components economically, including "soft handoff" technology they have to pay QCOM. Remember in the USA anyone can sue anyone for almost anything. These are usually called nuisance suits. As one Lucent attorney said,"ERICY's claims to CDMA technology don't pass the "HA HA" test". This is exactly why there are are NO commercial WCDMA systems in operation now. You're right, if ERICY could migrate to this superior technology they would have done it long ago. You have to watch what ERICY does not what they say. ERICY has been a great company. They will come around when the have to face the inevitable court decision. Best,
