WCDMA is Qualcomm's, Just today there was be ATT press realease saying EDGE is the real thing, and even that cdma is a "hype". Well, that they say about cdamOne years ago, now Verizon/Sprint/WCom/others are bigger in total than AWE. China/Siemmenscdma is a weird concotion it will go nowhere. Qualcomm gets 5% from CDMA2000 and same from WCDMA. WCDMA total of 15% royalties once all the interested parties are put together (lu,mot,ericy,docomo,nokia,and ten others claiming a piece of the royalties, the reason why Korea is going cdma2000 and not wcdma, and China is flirting back and for and now back). Anyway, I am for AWE paying big for Nextel.

FCC raises $520 mln in auction of wireless licenses WASHINGTON, Sept 21 (Reuters) - The Federal Communications Commission said Thursday it raised almost $520 million from the auction of 96 licenses to nine companies that will subdivide and lease the spectrum to third parties for wireless uses. A unit of Nextel Communications Inc. was the top bidder, spending $337.8 million on 37 licenses, followed by a unit of Pegasus Communications Corp. spending $91.5 million for 31 licenses. The Industrial Telecommunications Association spent $69 million on 29 licenses, while Motorola Inc. spent $6.2 million on one license. "These companies have an exciting opportunity ahead of them to promote the development of secondary markets of spectrum usage," FCC Chairman William Kennard said in a statement. The licenses were part of the 700 megahertz guard band and the buyers of the licenses must adhere to strict frequency coordination and interference rules, as well as control the use of the spectrum to ensure the public's protection. Eight licenses went unsold during the auction and those licenses will be sold in a future auction. The licenses were sold for cities across the United States ranging from Boston, Charlotte and Tampa to Knoxville, Chicago, Dallas and Seattle.
