Gregg - I am curious about what it is that you disagree with:

My point was that the ITU has stated that they will not approve any standard for which there are IPR issues. The ITU has a much lesser standard of proof than do the courts thus Ericsson can disrupt CDMA-2000 at ITU just as much as Qualcomm can disrupt Ericsson. This is further backed up by the ITU's recent press release which says it looks like there may be no CDMA 3g ITU standard.

However, when it comes to actual deployment, the IPR burden of proof is much higher. Thus Ericsson is going to have a much more difficult time stopping CDMAOne's next generation (including CDMA2000) than Qualcomm will have stopping Ericsson's CDMA deployments.

I really don't know of anything controversial in this (except perhaps to Tero), so I am very curious what you disagree with.

Clark

PS Gregg - You take the Ericsson compromise as a sign that their patent position isn't strong - i.e. you take it as if it really were a compromise that was forced on them by the strength of their legal position. I respectfully disagree. I think that this is a position that was forced on them by technical issues - 4.x just won't work.
