I haven't seen anybody buying a licence from QUALCOMM for OFDM, such as Flarion, or the WiFi merchants, so the patents can't be all that important.

As we know from the VW-40, aka W-CDMA, aka 3GSM, aka UMTS, crowd with their many patents all over CDMA, it's quality, not quantity that matters.

Thanks for the link.

Now I've read the analysis of patents and so on and they too think that Flarion and others can proceed with OFDM without hindrance from QUALCOMM, although QCOM has a bunch of OFDM patents.

The report says much the same as has been concluded in SI over the years, though it gives interesting detail.

Note the 802.11n, which I suspect is going to be big time in the WiFi business.
