Tero, Here is an example of your wisdom from the recent past. Message 4736100 >> The Nordic companies have been doing research on CDMA for most of this decade. Just because they chose not to commercialize it doesn't mean that they don't have valid claims on W-CDMA. I don't think anyone outside of Qualcomm thinks that demanding 5% licensing fees on W-CDMA and then threatening to block the whole proposal if it is not made compatible with IS-95 is reasonable behaviour from Qualcomm. All this talk about how aggressive Ericsson is still leaves me wondering how come people don't see how hostile Qualcomm behaviour has been. People living in America naturally get only Qualcomm's point of view. From European POW, Qualcomm has been attempting to block W-CDMA from day one, first with ridiculous fee demands and now these compatibility demands. There is something decidedly leechlike in this behaviour in my opinion<< Qualcomm's leechlike behaviour has been extremely beneficial to its investors. Do you think the Nordic companies decision to not commercialize CDMA served them well? Will you ever acknowledge that QCOM's IPR on all current forms of mobile CDMA are valid? The question marks beg a response, but you never provide one. I believe that you are obligated to admit that you were WRONG about the CDMA/WCDMA IPR issue. The market knows!! Pete
