Seems like great news to me also. I agree with your analysis. Q will not license variations of CDMA, period. Say it often enough eventually people will come to see you are not BS'ing. From the dispatch: <<The global telecommunications industry is at a critical juncture and the ITU believes that global competition based on IMT-2000 standards will be a key driver for the world wireless market; incompatible standards , [my bold] sometimes softly referred to as "technology differentiation", can however only mean bad news for consumers through higher costs and lack of interoperability across regions and around the world.>> Nice to see the ITU on the same lines as Qualcomm statements. I guess Ericson is still trying to take the high ground with the "We will give up our IRPs for the good of the world", to bad what they are throwing in the pot isn't worth diddly. One point I am unclear on. I dont remember my high school grammar hierarchy that well. Can some one help out? <<Ericson holds that it has patents and/or pending application(s) for patent that are essential to the two different proposed 3G standards based on W-CDMA and cdma2000.>> <<But Ericson claims were rapidly rebuffed by QUALCOMM in its statement according to which it holds essential IPRs on 5 proposals based on CDMA technology or variants of it.>> Which one is better - An underlined 'essential' (Ericson, need some help on underlining also) or an italic 'essential' (Qualcom)?
