brational, Welcome aboard! IMO the Koreans are just trying to cover all the bases. It just seems that they have easily allowed themselves to be snookered by unsubstantiated promises and glowing PR's that are disseminated by those supporting w-cdma and td-scdma. WRT royalties, I have no problem with their wanting to discuss it with Q.....just think they might be more successful if they kept it private instead of using the media to try and apply pressure. As you indicated, it really does not matter.....Q holds the cards that matter and, as long as people to continue to buy wireless phones, the royalties will continue to flow in their direction.

Hi RB, is that you? Welcome aboard. As for the S(synchronous) in TD-SCDMA, it is a different concept comparing to the synchronous in CDMA(2000), it's more about sychronize the handsets, rather than the basestations with the help from GPS. But I agree with you that TD-SCDMA will be another source of IPR income for Q. As a matter of fact, for example, in the license deal with Fujisu, which said they are going to do TD-SCDMA qualcomm.com It stated expand the licenses under QUALCOMM's CDMA patent portfolio to include the development, manufacture and distribution of subscriber and infrastructure equipment for third-generation CDMA (WCDMA, cdma2000, TD-SCDMA) products. Prior to these amendments, Fujitsu's CDMA licenses covered only products for cdmaOne™ applications. Under the terms of the amendments, Fujitsu will pay QUALCOMM a license fee and ongoing royalties at the same rates irrespective of the licensed CDMA standard. As a matter of fact, let's just take whatever from the mouth of the horse, Li Shihe who is dubbed as the inventor of TD-SCDMA. idg.net Qualcomm, which owns a broad portfolio of CDMA patents, also holds "basic" patents relating to TD-SCDMA, said CATT's Li. This would mean that Qualcomm is guaranteed royalties from sales of equipment.
