Gug - So you use CDMA and WCDMA interchangeably? You know that CDMA acronym commonly refers to 2G systems and that was the clear context in my posts.... And by attacking me you sidestepped my questions, which I will clarify for you, since you don't have the wit to fathom the obvious meaning. Given an IDC win against ERICY - Will IDC collect additional TDMA royalties against NOK? - How will that affect IDC's current relationship (re 3G WCDMA) with NOK. Regarding the one question you did actually answer... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> - Since NOK is already a QCOM licensee, why pay an additional fee to IDC? NOK is a licensee for 2G narrowband CDMA. NOK is not a licensee for 3G wideband CDMA. How can QCOM license 3G wideband CDMA along with 2G narrowband CDMA when the 3G specs are only 80% complete? DUH! Again, stop and think before you write. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< From your post Message 12994572 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> From the 10K: In 1999, InterDigital entered into royalty bearing TDMA and CDMA patent licenses with Nokia, which are paid up generally through the project period, and provide a structure for determining royalty payments thereafter. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Spelling out the obvious How can IDC license 3G wideband CDMA when the 3G specs are only 80% complete? DUH! We know of course, that QCOM licensees don't pay IDC royalties on 2G CDMA systems. Perhaps you should take your own advice..... w.
