Maurice: <Therefore, I believe IDCC, NTT, Nokia, Ericsson, Vodafone, the European governments and others are in a vast conspiracy to 'get' QUALCOMM and cdma2000.> Oh! I have absolutly NO DOUBT about that.. Qualcomm IS THE ENEMY.. That is why I won't buy it.. Even @ $44 a share.. The 3GPP and their band of Merry Men are out to kill Qualcomm.. Or at least wound it enough so that Nokia can buy it!! Now, I have been a long time naysayer to the whole IDCC propaganda.. And I have to tell you.. Listening to the QCiBR thread about these last two IDCC agreements is reminisent of the ERICY threads back when ERICY's management "told White Lies" to their shareholders and told them that Ericsson did not need Qualcomm IPR for W-CDMA.. However, that being said.. Could this delay of the masses in the technology heap of W-CDMA actually be trying to completely "By-Pass Qualcomm"? I mean one company could not do it.. But, could the conglomerate of the 3GPP try and pull it off.. Let's face it.. Even if they just claimed that W-CDMA does not need QCOM IPR, and started shipping equipment void of royalty payments to QCOM.. After all, The Euros have gone on and on about how W-CDMA and IS-95/CDMA 2000 are completely different animals.. And the only thing that are similar is the acronym that they share!! We know that they have been trying to get QCOM IPR overturned in Japan, and Europe.. Why would they be doing this? If they knew they had to pay the same royalty rate regardless of the Standard Used? <Just which IDCC patent licence has been agreed and at what price? Perhaps it is for a bell or whistle which is in the NTT Version 1.0 [gamma - not beta] of W-CDMA but not central to function of W-CDMA. QUALCOMM could produce a W-CDMA without a couple of NTT bells and whistles. > biz.yahoo.com biz.yahoo.com Multi-million up front payments and Strategic Partnership to Develop 3G Technology with Infineon don't sound like "Bells and Whistles" IPR.. And from the Infineon Agreement.. It appears that it they are using IDC IPR for more than NTT (Version 1.0 W-CDMA When you have a moment.. Go to the USPTO.GOV we site and do a patent search on InterDigital as an Assignee and CDMA in the Abstract.. 164.195.100.11 "If the patent was needed by NTT, why did they leave it until a month before their W-CDMA launch to get the necessary licence?" Element of Surprise!! PCSTEL
