!00cfm. You are right. QCOM wants to go toe to toe with the competative technology. Apparantly DOCOMO may be having some success useing political means to prevent this competition. Now QCOM simply says let's buy a license and compete--we are willing to put a lot of money where our mouth is because our technology is both here now and better. If certain Japanese companies choose to close off their markets to competition, then they should be choosing simultaneously for other japanese companies not to export products to the rest of the world. QCOM is creating a clearcut issue--open licensing-- that the US government can get a handle on. Denial of a license and simultaneously squeezing out the non oddball DS CDMA technology is an issue the US Govt can and will handle. The US Government has opened US markets in telecom and they are damned serious about this issue. You are going to be supprised by the potential for all sorts of support on this issue. JohnG
