Thread: I think it's been noted here the whole ERICY/QCOM deal, etc. Engineer, over on the QCOM thread was nice enough to post the following that he found on Yahoo. Thought it had relevance here as well. (As engineer said. "An interesting take".):

Ericy did not blink because they wanted to. Ericy was forced to go CDMA by the Chinese. Ericy has been
doing business in China for a very long time. I believe since the early 20's. They are well respected. It was
out of this respect that the Chinese government alerted them to their decision to go CDMA. Their engineers
having completed their analysis of all the competing technologies determined that CDMA was the best for
their emerging nation. China will no longer accept anything less than the best for technologies that will help
shape their future. Ericy was given an opportunity to be a player or else see 80 years of good will go by the
wayside. They had no choice but to deal with Qualcomm. The only way they could play was to purchase the
Infra.
Qualcomm dictated all the terms. They were given a few bones to save face. In reality it was a win win for
all. Ericy will continue to reign in China. Qualcomm will receive royalties beyond anything they originally
envisioned. EOM
