Okay, what's the real scoop on TD-SCDMA? I realize that it uses QCOM patents. If it was any other country but China, I wouldn't worry about it. BUT, it is China, and I don't trust them one bit. Assuming it even will work, of course, is there any way they can get around paying QCOM royalties on this? I know they would be in the wrong legally, but could they still somehow get away with it? Remember, it's China.

The Koreans crack me up. This is their feeble response to Q's position on royalties. Where was Korea's loyalty and confidence when they went about selecting their choice for 3G? How much did they contribute to opening up the largest market in the world for cdma handsets? I have little sympathy for the Koreans. They had better stop worrying about royalties and get busy figuring out how to produce lower cost handsets; else the Chinese catch-up in few a short years and eventually bury them.
