Chip rates & WCDMA Chip rates are one of the differences between CDMA & WCDMA. I'm quite sure CDMAs' chip rate was generated from mathematical and functional models, it wasn't pulled out of the air! The chip rate for WCDMA seems to have been hatched in a board room as a business decision. Could you shed some light on why QCOM could compromise? Maybe the apparent concession is a trial balloon? I can't get my head around why the best long term solution isn't universally applauded. Maybe they can't see the "long dime vs the short term nickel"? Thanks
