Bux and all,

True, they do not have the authority to decide what the 3G standard(s) will be, but they never did.

That's why I'm surprised that Geoff Moore has come to the conclusion that they did give up the proprietary control. In my mind, this is a situation in which the markets determine the de facto standard. Just because the committees happen to go along with the de facto standard being dictated by free-market influences doesn't mean the control over the architecture has been given up.

I can't wait to see the thread that Geoff Moore referred to. The only thing that would pursuade me to think control has been relinquished is if someone can convince me that so many compromises were made in getting the architecture accepted by the standards committees that Qualcomm can no longer throw competitors out of kilter with continuing innovations to CDMA.
