Rodolse from the Yahoo boards, and is pretty reliable, responds to my question as to why he thought 3.68MHz chip rate was unlikely to be swallowed by Ericsson: Clare, I have discussed the chip rate issue with friends at ERICY on several occasions after the Dec. 8 "compromise" that the company put forward. My understanding is that the 3.68 rate is very, very hard to swallow - not because it would hamper performance but because it would put GSM operators at a significant cost disadvantage vis-a-vis IS-95 operators when upgrading to 3G. I believe that ERICY is willing to strike a deal on just about every other point (dropping lawsuit, agreeing on royalties for Q IPR, cross-licensing of GSM for a possible worldphone from Q, etc.) but not on the 3.68 rate. However, with two very important operators deciding to run both GSM and IS-95 (VOD/ATI and Telstra) in the last few months, perhaps the pressure on ERICY has abated somewhat. Clark
