Don't be so damn relevant, Mardy... we have a debate going on here. There are a lot of CDMA patents out there. I know I'm getting repetitive, but E&N have been doing CDMA research for a decade. This much is undisputed. All the W-CDMA front needs to do is to claim that they can build the system on their own and then take a "so sue us" attitude. Somebody just wrote me that Germany has rejected one of Qualcomm's patent claims this week. I don't know whether this was a big one or not - but some experts seem to think that Ericsson's and Nokia's CDMA patents could be used to block cdma2000. So they can just tangle the whole thing up and start cross-suing each other. I know who has deepest pockets if that game is started. I don't like this possibility and I don't think that the operators are going to like it, either. But that's the reason Qualcomm may be forced to make concessions. I might add that N&E have played this IPR game on various fronts for more than a decade now - they know about international patent laws and new standards. I just think that their lawyers must be competent enough to pull this off. Tero
