I agree, but the question I was trying to raise was whether Q would actually ask for royalties if the Europeans agreed to the CDMA2000 standard, rather than the WCDMA. For sure, Q let it be known that any attempt to exclude existing CDMA from a 3rd generation standard would result in a demand for royalties. In other words, if my conclusions are correct, QCOM is using the royalties issue as a way of encouraging Europeans and others to adopt the CDMA2000 standard. A sort of carrot and stick approach.
