<<<<The companies have agreed to enter into a comparable agreement between TI and Spinco (the temporary name of the entity that QUALCOMM has announced will be spun off as a separate and independent entity) that will allow Spinco to supply integrated circuits for all wireless and wireline applications.>>>>> Does this agreement mean SPINCO can provide GSM-WCDMA mode ASIC now? Or SPINCO still need to deal with other GSM players? The term also includes "wireline". Interesting. Furthermore, <<<<Texas Instruments Incorporated (NYSE:TXN) today announced that they have entered into a cross-license agreement covering both companies' patent portfolios that allows each company to supply integrated circuits, including for all wireless standards. >>>> Look like QCOM just add one more competition to its chip business. Can TI sell its future CDMA chips to other companies? TI is a supplier of NOK's GSM phone chip business. Dr. IJ needs to be more specific.
