Bob, thanks so much for the CC segment transcription. The very last bit caught my eye: Q: "It's interesting because there has been some speculation by a number of other companies that they would get different royalty rates, a way to reduce or have no royalty rates in the event of the use of W-CDMA. I think it's quite clear that that may not be a correct assumption." These "other companies" who are wrongly speculating that they can somehow bypass Q's IPR via WCDMA...you don't think that he could possibly be referring to our fine friend Bill Dogleash's pet hairball, IDC? Even if not, it's the perfect response....getting this kind of quote out of Q only a day or two after BD last spewed his "Q's patents only apply to narrowband CDMA" idiocy...poetic justice. (Reminds me of that scene in Annie Hall where Woody Allen hears some CUNY blowhard professor pontificating about Marshall McCluhan in a movie line, and Woody pulls McCluhan himself from behind a curtain to tell him he's an imbecile.) But on a day like today, we should be charitable to the less fortunate amongst us, yes? I do see IDC was up today - by 1/16. <g> -Rose-

that certainly clears up the wcdma royalty issue. jeez, he had to say the same thing three times. as far as this statement Q: No, that's not what I said. I said that they will pay us a royalty on all CDMA phones that they manufacture, no matter what type that is. We also will pay them a small royalty in the future on phones that we manufacture whether those be CDMAOne, Wideband CDMA, CDMA 2000, whatever. someonelse will be paying them a small royalty. Q's royalties will be net net.
