Mika,

The burden-of-proof standard I have become used to for CDMA is quite simple: Everything is false until proven true. Is that not what QCOM has endured for a decade. Patents do not apply until they are affirmed in court. Systems defy physics until they are implemented. Future standards are niche before they arrive. Royalty rates will be lower even though they are being licensed at existing rates.

I certainly hope this standard was not only for QCOM. C'Mon. W-CDMA is hot air until you get a fully loaded system up and running.

OK Mika, that is fair but as you know the majority opinion around here is that vaporware. A killer press release that specifies spec numbers or actual descriptions of a working system like the one Lucent did recently for CDMA 3G would be great.
