We have substantive proof that a Qualcomm share comes with a wedding ring for some people! Bux really can't help being a NARROW-minded NARROWband CDMA fanatic with 80% of his portfolio still in QCOM, who when faced with the facts in a sworn SEC statement resorts to a SAD, SAD game of semantics that only he wants to play..... Not quite. The NeoPoint IPO filing shows the language "IS-95 type". That means Qualcomm can use those IDC patents, royalty free, for standards other than IS-95 and the "bandwidth less than 10MHz" indicates Qualcomm will probably not be paying any royalties on these patents, even for 3G. ......it's pretty evident from the direction and tone of your arguments that you are trying to portray IDC as something they are not and may never be. A dose of objectivity will do you some good and may end up saving you more than a few bucks. Message 12861405 I know these contracts are not in the public domain but I understand Nokia, Ericsson, Samsung, Motorola and all other current licensees have signed contracts that obligate them to pay Qualcomm royalties if they use Qualcomm's CDMA innovations ever, even after the patents have expired. ragingbull.com Is it me or is Bux starting to get a wee bit scary! Ready, set....IGNORE!
