Terrapin, Tero, Ericy will be paying Qcom significant WCDMA royalties, as with all other modes of CDMA, as the information from the various CC?s here below indicate. Again, it is from Qcom, you might say, but at least they are saying something, and Nok is not. And the question remains that it must mean something if Ericy, Lucent, Nortel, Samsung, etc have WCDMA licensing agreements with Qcom. Do they have the same agreements with Nok? And if not, why not? I personally do not know the answer to that question, but would appreciate if Tero might be able to answer that. In the meantime, I guess we will still have to wait until Nok is ready to reveal more on its strategy, and particularly, how significant its WCDMA IPR portfolio might be. Message 13332017 Message 13331550 Message 13332192 So that leaves Mot, which from Ruffian?s response (to Tero), indicates Mot has no IPR on WCDMA anyway, and therefore explains why WCDMA was not included in their recent settlement with Qcom.
