<What he said was that early on, QCOM clutched their technology really tight and this restrained the propagation of CDMA in the wireless world.> On the contrary, Q! from the beginning, 1989, solicited industry support. For example, L M Ericsson signed non-disclosure or some such agreements as part of possible licensing deals. Irwin Jacobs [not the greenmail takeover artist] did presentations saying up to 40X analog might be possible. Which some have used as evidence of fraud, which it wasn't. Q! licensed Nokia about 1991 and many, many others as soon as they had something to license. Ericy refused to believe CDMA would work in mobile and thought GSM would win. The rest is history. Q! won. Ericy lost! The absence at UMTS is sensible. There are plenty of CDMA licensees, now including Ericy. Q! doesn't need UMTS and their attempts to reduce Q! royalties. cdma2000 is ready to roll. Q! is going to enjoy very, very, very large royalties. Yummy. Mqurice
