Les, With all due respect, your lead phrase "Qualcomm warned tonight" merits further clarification. For those who have followed Qualcomm's CDMA technology, Qualcomm was warning about the delay of 3G based on W-CDMA wireless technology, preferred by European operators. To many, W-CDMA is considered a "rival technology" to Qualcomm's CDMA. The delay of W-CDMA may thus facilitate the adoption of 1xEV, proprietary to Qualcomm and capable of being overlayed to Europe's GSM system. In which case Qualcomm could stand to rake in $$$ until well into 2004. The delay itself could therefore be interpreted as good news for Qualcomm, Motorola, Lucent and many other US companies, but not so great for Nokia and Ericcson - simplistically speaking. Since you have a large following on SI, I felt compelled to clarify this subtle point. One simply cannot place his/her destiny in the hands of Reuters' writers alone. <g> Regards, Ibexx

Not quite a warning, but not so good either.

Les ---Qcom did not warned tonight ---repeated the same message it has been saying over the past year . It will collect royalties either way W-CDMA or CDMA 2000 ---does not matter . It has 2.5G rolling out at present in KOREA ( 144K data rate ) . All the article is saying is that the GSM crowd is not delivering on their promises to the telecom companies that bought into GPRS .As a matter of fact if you read the following he trying to sell CDMA2000 as the solution to their current delays : Message 15397079 BEST WISHES BILL
