"Don't ask whether Intel can succeed in imposing its preferred standards, for ultra-wide band wireless, or for 802.16a local wireless broadband. Study your history. You'll see that it can." Miniscule market demand fostering really poor coverage. I am struggling to think of a reason I should care.

I believe in order to access the various networks the various air interfaces (GSM/ CDMA/ UMTS-WCDMA) of those respective networks would still be required. As such, I would imagine that a chip incorporating all of these air interfaces and using a software (SDR?) switch to select the appropriate interface would still require a Qualcomm license if the CDMA/ UMTS air interfaces were included. Comments from the experts would be appreciated. - jim
