<<Synertek's Affiliates (Wide Telecom Co., Ltd., Telson Electronics Co., >> That's NOK's entry into 3g licencing. They are already buying their CDMA1 QCOM ASICs through Telson and having them manufacture the handsets. Now 3g !. GO*COM is on the button again with his predictions. NOK and COM are cozying up.

Re : the precise language in the Qualcomm / Synertek CDMA license news release SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2001--QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM - news), pioneer and world leader of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) digital wireless technology, today announced an amendment to Synertek's existing CDMA subscriber unit license agreement which expands the licenses of Synertek's Affiliates (Wide Telecom Co., Ltd., Telson Electronics Co., Ltd., Standard Telecom Co., Ltd., and Sewon Co., Ltd.) under QUALCOMM's CDMA patent portfolio to include the development, manufacture and sale of subscriber units, CDMA modem cards and subscriber unit knockdown kits for second and third-generation (3G) CDMA (i.e., cdma2000, WCDMA and TD-SCDMA) products. Prior to the amendment, Synertek's CDMA license covered only cdmaOne(TM) subscriber units. Under the terms of the amendment, Synertek will pay QUALCOMM a multi-million dollar license fee and ongoing royalties at the same rates for 3G as those for cdmaOne equipment, irrespective of the licensed CDMA standard. Sometimes ... lawyers (who sit around all day drafting the words used in contracts) ... are wonderful people ! Jon.
