< By January 1999, AT&T Labs, Ericsson, GBT and a number of other companies that had taken part in the standardization process, developed a new joint proposal called Wideband Packet-CDMA.> One thing that makes me skeptical about any claim GBT would have to circumvent Qualcomm's CDMA patents is this statement that Ericsson was involved with the company prior to Ericsson's decision to pay royalties to Qualcomm for CDMA and WCDMA. Surely Ericsson's engineers would not have concluded that it was necessary to do so if they had believed any such claim by GBT. Of course, not a techie, but this just seems awfully fishy.
