Looks like Nokia will continue to have a sweet heart deal.... ---------- Perhaps.... But one they can only exploit by designing and fabricating viable, functioning, competitive cdma IC's... And in this light - with history as our guide - it may well never matter.

Slacker, << The paragraph above mentions multi-mode components....doesnt this have to mean GSM? >> Because of no mention of GSM specifically, I can't read that in. My read is what is cross-licensed is Nokia's claimed WCDMA IP and multi-mode would imply cdma2000/WCDMA in this instance. - Eric -

slacker-- sweetheart deal... Can you elaborate on that? I recall the MOT deal with royalties under the July 1995 and earlier patents below industry rates, and the subsequent litigation having MOT go to industry standard rates for post-1995 patent use, but I can't recall the sweetheart deal with NOK.
