Chaz, Maybe this will help? rcrnews.com Ericsson is the only major vendor that has not licensed IS-95 technology from Qualcomm, and Qualcomm has indicated that all its current IS-95 CDMA licensees would be granted access to its intellectual property used in the third-generation standard without being charged any additional upfront fees. This could give IS-95 licensees that are ETSI members incentive to get the issue resolved. But Ericsson, as many have pointed out, has a strong influence with its GSM carriers in Europe, and Ericsson says the majority of operators worldwide want to move ahead with ETSI's W-CDMA proposal and aren't interested in backward compatibility. Jacobs tells his side of 3G story rcrnews.com If new spectrum is awarded (in Europe) and a single standard is specified that is not equally available to U.S. companies, I think the U.S. government would be concerned. If some practices are followed that might be viewed as more of an industrial policy for Europe, as opposed to a way to approach a fair and open marketplace in telecommunications, there would be some concern. I suspect right now everybody is watching the situation very carefully. Cheers, Greg B.
