LU and Linux/CDMA Actually, LU invented UNIX, which is the basis of Linux. It also is the dominant market share leader in CDMA wireless infrastructure with 65% of the market (and BTW, a royalty-free QCOM license to boot - granted both for LU's intellectual property and to give it incentive to push CDMA technology). Funny how people forget these things.

do you know the problem with opinions? your url to a post on the QCOM thread from a person who wrote to the writer of a piece regarding IDC/QCOM patents. this person "paraphrased" the 10K filing. that is an opinion and she (Jill) didn't even have the good sense to quote from the 10k because, I think, she does not understand it. QCOM/IDC did have a dispute where IDC lost but on one specific tenchnological standard. Do you know how many standards comprise 2G, 3G, and the upcoming 4G???? This is why I don't want opinions from people who are technologically illiterate. They failthfully take factual information and twist into erroneous information and then it miraculously is spread like a virus to many boards.

thanks for the IDC/10K file site. fifty pages devoted to the future of wireless technologies and standards. I think that one skirmish had been waged: QCOM/IDC. There was no clear winner or loser. Read the filing. The major war is coming and its arsenal will fire terabits of data/video/audio bandwidth. The giant telecom companies will fight and merge just like the network companies of five years ago. Companies like QCOM and IDC will spark that revolution as the demand for d/v/a bandwidth screams into the human consciousness and is delivered to our door. It will be fascinating and I am so happy to have bought Nokia in 1996. I thank many of the posters of this board who shared factual information to the naive ones. Nokia will be around in 2008. I'm not sure about QCOM or IDC. Whatever the dish, so to speak, I'm sure it'll be sometimes tasty and other times, bitter to swallow. One thing though, in the next three months, I'm going to open my portfolio more to include IDC, NOK, and QCOM. This is my future and my opinion. Thank heavens none of you have to buy it!
