Totally agree. IMHO, China should be thankful QCOM gave them a gift with a better than MFN CDMA royalty rate. Why they would waste their time with TD-SCDMA or even wCDMA is beyond me?

As GI stated, it makes no difference in terms of the royalties paid. The fact that GI said it doesn't make it true. It's a bald assertion without logic or evidence to back it. IMHO it is extremely unlikely that China would change over to TD-SCDMA. Why would they want to be stuck with a non-standard version of CDMA? The chances of the rest of the world changing to TD-SCDMA are ZERO. Countries have done stupider things when it comes to setting telecom standards, including not having any at all and "letting the market decide". <g> Does the Chinese government really care that much what standards the rest of the world adopts? I doubt it. JMHO
