JohnG totaltele.com Samsung slams W-CDMA royalties RDSL 03 October 2000 Handset manufacturer Samsung Electronics believes that W-CDMA royalties may be around three-fold more than those it presently pays to Qualcomm for IS-95, if the three planned consortia choose W-CDMA. According to Samsung, vendors will be required to pay a minimum 10-18% royalties to around 30 European companies if the three consortia choose the technology. According to the Electronic Telecom Research Institute (ETRI), a body owned by the South Korean govt, operators would have to pay Won840 billion - 1.6 trillion in royalties in 2002-2005 if CDMA2000 was adopted, increasing to Won 2 trillion for W-CDMA. Motorola and Lucent are demanding their own royalties for IS95-based units.
