Progress not perfection

The merits and costs of CDMA as opposed to wCDMA are now getting discussed.

Qualcomm is not being seen in tomorrow's WSJ article as a whopping LOSER.

I seriously believe Ericsson's capitulation on royalties to Qualcomm for wCDMA will get some serious focus by Tuesday or Wednesday. That will put Nokia into a public perception corner. This could be focal week for Qualcomm. BWTFDIK?

¡john!

"Ericsson, NTT DoCoMo and Nokia have agreed on the percentage to be charged for the different essential technologies, and when added up, those percentages should not be more than the agreed-upon cap," said Janos Fugedi, president of Ericsson Korea, last month. Nokia and Ericsson are reported to have told the ministry that five percent or less would be charged as royalty fees."

If the "cap" is less than 5% and Q royalty in 4 - 5% what exactly are Nokia and Ericsson promising?
