Yes, but where else is TD-SCDMA being used? Looks like most of the ususal suspects that intend to market in China have signed even if Chinese suppliers haven't. Seems faintly reminiscent of a certain Nordic supplier doesn't it? <ggg> Speaking of which...catch this in the link below: "AUTHORIZED SUPPLIERS NOT SHOWN ABOVE...Nokia Corporation"<ggg> Maybe they have to pay extra to list their logo! Are none of the following Chinese? qualcomm.com QUALCOMM has more than 1,400 patents and patent applications applicable to CDMA and other technologies. QUALCOMM's extensive patent portfolio has been recognized as essential to existing and proposed CDMA standards, including cdmaOne, cdma2000 (1x and 1xEV), WCDMA and TD-SCDMA. QUALCOMM has now entered into patent license agreements with more than 90 manufacturers covering cdmaOne and cdma2000 1x applications, and with more than 40 manufacturers covering WCDMA and other CDMA standards. QUALCOMM's license agreements require ongoing royalty payments to QUALCOMM based on a percentage of the manufacturer's selling price of certain CDMA products sold by the licensees. Each licensee pays ongoing royalties to QUALCOMM at the same rates for third-generation CDMA, including WCDMA and cdma2000, as that licensee pays for cdmaOne equipment. Since the first commercial deployment of CDMA technology in 1995, the royalties and license fees reported by QUALCOMM have grown each year and are expected to continue to grow as the CDMA market expands around the world.
