True, the market eventually will be CDMA, as the market shifted from analog to digital, but what form/flavour of CDMA will it be?
the Q makes money - lots of it - from every CDMA handset and equipment sale licensed by the Q
I disagree with the term "lots of it". They are making money from licensing, but it was stated on the Q thread that Q has admitted they could make more if they made it themselves.
Are you suggesting that of the 26 handset cdmaOne licensees, that since one - the Phillips/Lucent joint venture has decided to concentrate on "parts" his point is invalid? How about the exception proves the rule concept?
Yes, b/c Lucent/Phillips aren't making handsets anymore. Think about it, Lucent couldn't make a IS-95 handset. It is apparent to me that designing a handset is no trivial task. (Although, Nokia seems to make it look easy with their TDMA handsets)
My point is that all of the engineering talent at Lucent, formerly Bell Labs inventors of Speech Recognition, C programming, Unix (I think), etc. etc. etc. couldn't design a handset to market commercially.
