re: WCDMA patent cap I have maintained for some time that Nokia's intent was not to have Qualcomm reexamine their royalty scheme for licensing WCDMA. The article at the link below partially quoting a Nokian would seem to contradict that. I have no idea who "Riitta Mard, communications manager with Nokia Networks", is, but if Nokia's aim "is to persuade Qualcomm [to join the initiative],", I think they are TOTALLY misguided. It simply is NOT going to happen, and there is no earthly reason why it should. computerwire.com The quote attributed to Mard is: "The aim is to persuade Qualcomm [to join the initiative]," said Mard. "We believe 5% is a good level for the patent holders and should benefit the market [both] equipment vendors and customers." Dumb! - Eric -
