Rajala is that why ERICY pays equall royalties on either technology? That is in a written contract, everything else is just speculation. Why would Ericy agree to such terms if they invented CDMA? COme on RAJ your full of it, and have now been wrong for two years. Hows that WLL that LWIN is spinning out? Your a joke and anyone who responds to your, obviously eurotrash views is a bigger joke. Look folks, go back to SI postin in Jan 99 and read them. WCDMA was a theory a year ago. It is baisicly CDMA with a diferent chip rate and base syncrinization diferences. When we first analysed the WCDMA propasal to ETSI every engineer here laughed at the proposal. A)It didnt work B)its changes ditracted from the system. WCDMA is still a bargaining chip. When all said and done, you can call it what you want but WCDMA will be CDMA2000 with cosmetic differences to make it non backward compatible to IS95. The oldtimers understand this, and therfore have no question WHATSOEVER that Q gets paid. Besides ERICY SIGNED A CONTRACT THAT STATES THAT THEY PAY EQUAL ROYALTY NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF CDMA THEY USE. THIS IS A FACT NOT AN OPINION

Rajala-Q has not joined the royalty pool. Their position is we hold the important patents and if you want W-CDMA you pay the piper. Erricson has already signed on to that position. Fine, If Nokia can deliver W-CDMA without infringing on Q's patent position, more power to them. But remember Nokia is the company that knew how to build CDMA handset chips in 1997, but in 2000 made a deal "indirectly" with Q because Nokia chips do not cut the mustard. I ask you how are they going to engineer the CDMA chips for the base stations?
