>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 My old friend marginmike. Judging from the use of capital letters you still seem to suffer from an occasional bout of blood pressure. This reminds me of the old absurd WLL debate that we had. Those times. And what happened? Are the hordes of poor people in developing countries rushing to buy the stuff? This reminds me of the good old Engineer. He used to get nervous so easily as well. Is he still wearing his engineer hat? Probably sporting an Ericsson cap by now. So Ericsson royalties. Nicely worded document. You pay the same amount of royalties for this and that IPR. Was there a claim that those IPRs must actually be used in WCDMA? Very interesting concept, using patents of a 2G system designed by X on a 3G system designed by W, Y, and Z. Surely there must be a tremendous overlap. - rajala

MM Glad to see you grabbing the bull by the horns here. You know you are right and we know we're right but the rest of the investing public doesn't know that and is in a selling panic. Q has fallen victim to a giant propaganda machine led by NOK so efficent and shameless that in PT BARNUM style they have the world believing that WCDMA is their technology and they will be the ones to benefiet most, when in actuallity they have no CDMA product and have no 3G cdma license. They have even publicly admitted they are 18 mths behind in CDMA but yet the WCDMA spell they have cast has everyone hypnotized. Q needs to break that spell and make it clear that the one company that will sell the most and collect the most royalties will be Q not NOK,MOT or ERICY. 100 looking out for WCDMA snake oil salesmen next.
