<Qualcomm doesnt always announce the licenses when they are actually signed (I have no idea why)....> Slacker, I would guess one reason is that both companies would have to agree on the timing of a License/Royalty announcement. An example would be either company in their quiet period. BWDIK. Golf

slacker.. <I'm curious....do you really believe that Matsushita will be paying royalties on modem cards and not on handsets?> Thanks for your article.. And it appears that Matsushita has indeed signed a license for W-CDMA.. Although, there was never an "Expanded License Agreement" Press Release issued, as their was for other companies noted in that statement.. i.e. Hitachi: qualcomm.com I am not trying to be argumentative, but, just trying to understand IDCC and other companies possible royalty opportunites in W-CDMA.. IF IDCC were to make a 1 per-cent royalty with a market cap of 450 million dollars.. And QCOM makes a 4% royalty with a market cap of 38 billion dollars.. It makes one look around a bit.. PCSTEL
