Yes, I am familiar with ITU IPR policy as it has been discussed extensively here for two years and I have visited the site many times. For the benefit of those (e.g. me) who are less knowledgeable, would appreciate it if you could summarize your understanding of IRP policies and royalty rates (TDMA, GSM, and CDMA). Just the main points as you see fit perhaps. In particular, what's materially important and how should we think about it. Anyone else feel free to jump in. moat

Now that you have established that you have read it, this was the msg that Rose requested an answer too. Message 11327821 Which lead to my answer, which regretably was written in a hasten state as I had an appointment. Message 11327821 Now as to the Rotomola issue, your stance is that QCOM is exercizing their rights in a legal proceeding. So was Rotomola and they lost, but what was QCOM response; to request anullment of the agreement that is a sweetheart deal for Motorola. Why? Now if you don't think that it presents a problem, then you've nothing to worry about. I'm sure that is also the majority opinion of this and the other threads, plus the financial community. So a singular opinion that thinks otherwise has no bearing whatsoever on the matter, now does it? It won't disrupt the stocks performance, nor will it impact on the world choosing a standard that is highly beneficial to QCOM, will it? Or are you going to disagree further? If you do, then you are validating my opinion that a global 3G standard will not happen......
