The license is probably not voided (not a typical IPR license approach), but a change in control, as when Phillips acquired VLSI, probably subjects continued validity of VLSI license to Q consent. Whether playing the heavy or for other market reasons, Q sent the 60 day letter. I suspect Uncle Franq has something--Phillips will have a period of time to decide what amended license terms will be acceptable. Don't understand your comment regarding Unless they commit to open up Europe...--Phillips is not a wireless carrier, as far as I know. And as far as 3G (and 2.5G variants to extent employing CDMA licenses), all flavors will have to license the applicable CDMA IPR. Enjoyed your post on the other thread. Regards. Steven
