Just for interest's sake lets look at the demands Qualcomm originally had and what they got: 1) Converged chip rate - Did not get it 2) Dual network compatibility (IS-41 and GSM MAP) - Got this 3) Synchronous basestations - Did not get this 4) Variable rate vocoder - I think they gave up on this a while ago. 5) Low energy on reverse link audio band - ?? They got very little of what they originally wanted. Essentially they sold their infrastructure division for $500M to $1B, some royalties and the hope that Ericsson will now start installing the CDMAOne or the CDMA-2000 version of the new 3g 'standard' in Europe. I would say that, given Ericsson's past history, that hope is not something that I would plan on. For the original list of Qualcomm requirements: exchange2000.com Clark
