So QCOM can just put out a W-CDMA chip without paying a sole? First you say Of course it does! SPINCO already has the CDMA IPR that it needs for 3G. Now it can get the GSM x-licenses that it needs. Result--everybody gets 3G ASICS built faster, especially SPINCO The you say Is it not clear to you that SPINCO solves that x-license problem? QCOM needs NO x-license. IJ even said that, clearly, in the cc. Ether the need it or not??? As far as time frame, has the lack of firm standard for W-CDMA changed? NO, even Dr J. said it was hard to design for something that is not yet a firm standard. We are still looking out to the end of 2001 for any significant monies to begin flowing. Greg
