Jim - It is also no secret that the B-CDMA consortium ( Interdigital/Samsung/Siemens and Alcatel ) have said fixed at first then neighborhood roaming and eventually full mobility.

Great, but the point is that they have been saying that for years and are nowhere on it. Also note that I made my predictions about which patents IDC would not have before I read the 10K's - purely from my knowledge about what they have specialized in.

I can't imagine all these companies paying Interdigital royalties to buy into a court case.

Huh? I acknowledged that IDC has valid patents in cell CDMA that probably allow a licensee to work around some Qualcomm patents. Thus without a court case. But that does not mean that they have bypassed all Qualcomm's patents - especially those in the areas where IDC has not been concentrating (like mobility).

Could B-CDMA , if it were mobile , be a work around the Q's IPR?

The difference between mobile and fixed is a very very big one - in fact the biggest individual hurdle to mobile cell CDMA. Thus by postulating 'if it were mobile' you are postulating the very thing you are trying to conclude. (i.e. not sound logic)
