Why is it so hard to imagine that Q would demand the same royalties for DS-CDMA as for CDMA2000? If this is what they require from CDMA2000 licensees then it should be viewed as fair. Now if DS-CDMA requires licensees to pay Q their share PLUS a few percent to a mix of others then that is the DS-CDMA camp's problem isn't it? Since it is supposedly superior they shouldn't mind paying a little more for it. <g> As for the argument that DS will have 70 to 80% of 3G I believe that is premature. Early projections based on weak assumptions. A lot of 3G is in new spectrum - this is not a GSM to WCDMA upgrade. Also, CDMA2000 so far is getting its chance in all markets except for Europe where one can assume at this juncture that DS will dominate. But CDMA2000 will be the dominant standard in the Americas.
